Yes, if Alt-SysRq-K does everything Ctrl-Alt-Backspace does, and more,
then perhaps that should be enabled by default instead?
Hm... if disabled, zillions of gnome-screenshooter windows starts to
appear (I haven't actually counted them and the amount is probably
proportional to the time I hold Alt [Gr]-SysRq before hitting K), if
enabled, caps-lock indicator starts to blink and the computer freezes
(whole computer, not only X)... Not sure how this can be helpful at
all...
Any security implications of enabling SysRq by default?
Alt-SysRq is actually "make a screenshot of the active window" in GNOME,
but perhaps that's not such a big deal in the case when X is hosed.
