[Bug 890747] [NEW] Ctrl Alt Del doesn't do what most people typing it would expect

 

Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 11.10

1. Type Ctrl Alt Del.

What happens: In Unity, a mutant version of the Log Out dialog appears.

What should happen: The nearest equivalent to the Windows Task Manager
appears. Currently, that is the "Processes" tab of System Monitor.

(Implementing this probably would invalidate bug 485740.)

  Maybe this shouldn't be implemented in gnome-session, but gnome-session
  is what currently traps the keybinding, so it does need at least a small
  code change there.
