Changing the 3 finger salute default behavior.

[sentry]

I was just playing around with an idea about launching gnome-system-monitor instead of sending your machine into shutdown mode. From here I could kill processes providing X is responsive at all.

I wouldn't be able to reboot per say from here, but if X is responding I should be able to shutdown normally if I have too. If X isn't responding then I usually ctrl+alt+Backspace to restart it...

Anyone have any feedback on this idea, am I completely in left field with it? Would I just be dooming myself to a hard reset in the near future???

That's cool, but I was more curious as to what changing it to gnome-system-monitor would do to me in the long run.

Anyone have any feedback if this would be a good idea or is it best to just leave it the way it is?

I have no idea what would happen. I do know that it doesn't work without X up.
