Description
I know that there is some "task manager" around there, which can also be dropped on the panel, but I remember that when I migrated from Windows, I didn't know where to go when a zombie process appears.
Just let the Task Manager (forgot its name) appears when the user presses Ctrl + alt + Del.
They did it also on Xandros (the OS of the EEEPC).

I think that's a great idea. Would be quite nice with a similar shortcut to start a terminal window.

Ctrl+Alt+Del means "reboot" when you're in a terminal. I think it wouldn't be nice to introduce a completely different meaning. And actually, Ctrl+Shift+Esc is the a shortcut for the task manager in Windows. There's no problem with supporting that.

I agree this would be a good idea. C'mon, just because Windows does something doesn't mean its bad. Its good to have a computing standard with keycodes.
How would you all like it if copy was Control-K in GNOME because they didnt want to "steal" windows idea?

Well in Kubuntu Ctrl+Alt+Esc turns your mouse pointer into "the deadly cross killing everything it clicks" and Ctrl+Esc opens the KDE Task Manager. Those are two features I missed in Ubuntu and why I'm using Kubuntu.
