With Alt+Ctrl etc. modificators one has to take into account: many window<br>
managers intercept some modificators globally for their own shortcuts. They<br>
may be configured so per default, or the user can set his shortcuts and<br>
later forget that he has done so. And then some shortcuts of an application<br>
do not work, or work strange, nobody knows why...<br>
<br>
...for example, Alt+Ctrl+Backspace kills the whole X11 together with all its<br>
clients...<br>
