  The question was asked wrong.

  The question should not have been, "should we change ZAP key from
CTL+ALT+BS to something else", but rather:

or:
  "Why do distros that are worried about this problem not enable
  DontZap by default"

or:
  "Under what conditions do ordinary users need to have a magic kill
  key like CTRL+ALT+BS, and how should it operate?"

(I had to remove the Zap code from Xvnc4 right in the code, because
Xvnc4 doesn't have an xorg.conf that it reads... and we had this problem
where CTRL would sometimes stick, and the user would hit SHIFT-BS...)
