I have a dual twin setup. This already requires an xorg.conf file, because in the no-config running, xorg decides you want to only use one of the two screens it finds. I don't know why, I consider it a bug.
I configure it to have dual screen. When I login, my window manager dies on me. My gnome panel only works in my left screen, but anything I select pops up on the right screen, out of focus. I can move my mouse into the other screen but I cannot get any focus. So I cannot get to a terminal or any other application.
So I ctrl-alt-f2. Now my left monitor goes into standby mode and my right monitor just shows a blinking cursor. The same for all VC's except alt-f7 which brings me back to my broken X session.
I had to login via ssh to fix my machine, because I could not restart X. Indeed, i did not have sysrq enabled yet, that's disabled per default it seems.
+1 for reverting to the old behaviour of having ctrl-alt-backspace kill the current X session.
Sorry Paul. But it does not look like, from what I read here, that there will be a vote on this. It appears that you, and all others, have two options.
1: Live with it as default 'off'.
2: Change it to 'on' to suit yourself.
Great thing about Linux. You can do pretty much just as you wish.
Good luck.
