[CLUE-Tech] CTRL-ALT-DEL

[David Willson]

I found out how you get where I was trying to go:
  Mid-click on the root window (a.k.a. the desktop) in Gnome, float
Customize, click Bindings.

If someone can figure out which program and/or data-file is behind it;
that'd be cool.

Thanks Dave, the immediate problem is resolved by the F8 thing.  There
is still a list someplace of customizable keyboard shortcuts that is
being used by Gnome and E.  I've removed the CTRL-ALT-DEL mapping from
it before.  The thing you said about inittab (usually 'restart as root
right now') is true, but only in the text consoles.

It seems to me that that sequence causes an interrupt that the OS has to

handle.  Most Linux systems I've seen pass that as a signal to init. 
What init does with it is defined in /etc/inittab.

I don't think there's any keycode or anything for ctrl-alt-del.  Doesn't

VNC have a way to send that signal to the remote machine?  There's a man

page that says vncviewer pops up a window when you press f8 that has a 
button for that.  No idea if that's close to the viewer you're using.

I'll have to try this on my terminal server at work.

Dave
