           Summary: intercept kill X shortcut and add coutdown timer (major)
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: bluedzins wp pl


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

X kill shortcut just kills everyting immediately while running KDE. Maybe it is ok with some bare X WM but with KDE I would expect to see some dialog with countdown timer:
X is going to be restarted in 20 seconds...
[ cancel ] [ OK ]

After all mistakes happen, and this shortcut (*) can be pressed by mistake -- user can loose all his/her work, not nice.

I am setting wish, but it is really a bug -- data loss is a serious matter, no other event (ctrl+alt+delete, soft power off button) behaves like this.

Btw. does KDE provide way to configure it?
