    This is just normal behaviour. You can disable this behaviour within the
    Xfree Configuration file. (Option "DontZap" "boolean" ).
    So there is nothing about it. It's just for the user/admin to configure X
    so it doesn't react on the key combination. If you consider this as i flaw
    i guess you can consider pressing ctrl-alt-del on the console, making the
    machine reboot, a flaw as well ;-))
