Pressing twice is a much better solution IMHO. Somebody like me, who
doesn't know about this safety feature, might just press Ctrl+Alt+Bksp
again if it doesn't work the first time ;-) but the very idea to hold
that key combo down for multiple seconds wouldn't even enter my head.
After all, keyboard keys are not power buttons.
Besides, a patch already exists, so that'd be easier to implement. :-P
