Get Out Of Jail Free!

Do as you will, certainly. I choose to leave it in because my
experience suggests that learning good habits pays off. There's
nothing to be lost from adding the Ctrl today, and everythuing to
be gained. On the other hand, we know that Alt is limited
already. If you're leaving a X session--because you got your
install wrong and are in runlevel 5, you won't get out without
the Ctrl. That's the fact today.

I'm sure Greg will be unconfused soon enough.
