I thought a while about the best solution for this problem and came up with this:
We can perfectly fix it without messing with Gnome itself: First we will upgrade the Compiz Gnome Compatibility plug-in to also deal with other gnome shortcuts (currently it just deals with showMainMenu, showRunDialog, CommandScreenshot, CommandWindowScreenshot and CommandTerminal). This will also have the positive side-effect that all will be perfectly configurable CCSM style, so the user will be easily able to modify everything to your needs if it won't suit him, it will be possible to not just change the shortcut, but also the command that is run, when hitting this key-combination. The defaults will be the same as Gnome uses. With another ubuntu-config.patch we will adjust the shortcut for Ctrl+Alt+Del to open gnome-system-monitor/processes tab instead of proposing a log out for Ubuntu/Unity only. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/890747 Title: Keyboard shortcut - Ctrl Alt Del doesn't do what most people typing it would expect Status in Ayatana Design: Fix Committed Status in Compiz: In Progress Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: 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.) See also bug 950882.
