[Bug 890747] Re: Keyboard shortcut - Ctrl Alt Del doesn't do what most people typing it would expect

 

Admittedly, my solution was a bit lacking for a couple of reasons.

1. The new shortcut to bring up gnome-system-monitor -p was not present in System Settings->Keyboard->Shortcuts.
2. The old shortcut in Keyboard shortcuts to use Ctrl-Alt-Delete to Log out was still present.

This probably causes confusion for users and is kind of a bad design.
So I'm going to fix this for at least Trusty.

I will make a new shortcut in Keyboard->Shortcuts that sets Ctrl-Alt-Del
to open gnome-system-monitor -p.  I will also set Log out to Disabled.
This way, it is clear to the end user what is going on here and is also
quite easy to set Ctrl-Alt-Delete back to Log out or something else
entirely.

What I need to do is ask Design which heading they want the new shortcut
to be under and what they want the wording to say.
