Hi,

Is it possible to execute an application when we press Ctrl + Alt
+Del. Right now, when we press Ctrl + Alt +Del
i'm getting the Shutdown + Logout + LockScreen + Restart Dialog. How
do we disable this permanently. which gconf file i should edit for
this..

You should only edit gconf files under very specific conditions, please
don't edit them, use the tools instead. Two tools you can use are
gconftool and gconf-editor.

Now.. to disable the 'alt-control-delete' effect - edit your keyboard
shortcuts and disable 'log out' under 'desktop'. The keyboards shortcuts
dialog is in system/preferences. You can also open this dialog by
running gnome-keybinding-properties.

Just click on the 'log out' entry and hit <backspace>. Once you disable
the shortcut it will take effect immediately.

Regards,

Daniel
