Why not use the logout selection? I thought that the ctl-alt-backspace 
was to kill X immediately and with no graceful shutdown of processes.

Using ctl-alt-backspace is even more of a problem on newer versions of 
gnome and xorg-x11. There are a lot of newer processes that will zombie. 
The logout menu choice would probably be the best selection.
