WIthout each user having to come up with a way to do this, is there a
way to add a keybinding to the default euclid install that can kill X?
Not the sloppy Ctrl+Alt+Bkspc workaround for .xinitrc, but a clean
close-all for euclid? In i3, you can Alt+Shift+E and it'll close i3,
dwm has a similar keybinding as does awesome, and I feel like they
were useful because sometimes you just need to dump X, but not seg-
fault your X session (as with the workaround, or going to tty0 through
Ctrl+Alt+F1 and then Ctrl+c). Especially since the svn revisions are
(for now, at least) testing revisions to isolate issues.

Have you given this any thought, and if so what do you think about
implementing this?

Is this different from alt + shift + q?
This will close euclid, but it isn't completely clean as it doesn't
warn windows that the x session is ending. This is something that
could be added, but there are some design decisions that would need to
be made.
