If implemented, the new Gnome System Monitor needs a default keyboard
shortcut for all Ubuntu systems without users having to configure it. I
propose Ubuntu uses the most popular Ctrl+Alt+Del and Command+Opt+Esc
keyboard shortcuts to open up the Gnome System Monitor. This will make
the transition to Ubuntu *that much easier for complete beginners!

You don't want to know how many times a program froze and  I have
clicked Ctrl+Alt+Del and all I got was a Log Out dialogue!

Title:
  System Monitor is too complex for everyday users.

Status in The Gnome Panel Applets:
  New
Status in GNOME Control Center:
  New
Status in The GNOME System Monitor:
  Confirmed
Status in “gnome-system-monitor” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There are no common names for applications, there is no default
  popular keyboard shortcut to access the System Monitor (like
  Ctrl+Alt+Del or Command+Opt+Esc), and there is no tab for applications
  that the user actually knows are running (like open windows). We need
  to look at Microsoft's task manager for insight on how to make the
  System Monitor both for Ubuntu's target audience (everyday people) and
  big tech-junkies like myself. This can be a security risk, especially
  for people new to GNU/Linux and Ubuntu, as a serious problem could be
  running without the user able to stop it easily.
