Of course I read that part of the Errata but did not relate it to the
matter of this thread - how could I as a non-developer? The relation
has not been mentioned in the errata.
As I wrote in my first mail I am not really against this change if
there is a reason. There seems to be a reason (as you say), so it's
ok. But still I think all open questions (especially the one about the
situation of a crashing or failing x server) need to be addressed
before the change is made in cauldron to be tested by a broader
userbase. And I still think it needs to be announced all over the
place when the change will be implemented.
About the question how hard it is to press another key: not hard. But
the Ctrl-Alt-F1 has been a standard in ALL distributions and ALL
documentations (even in the generic books about "Learning Linux"), a
standard like the SAA menue standard ("File" on the left, "Help" on
the right) or the "F1 opens Help" standard. Therefore changing this is
a bit more than usual changes between versions.
