Very true, the process manager (aka Taskman in Windows) is accessible via 
Ctrl-Esc in most distros. Ctrl-Alt-Del can be disabled and Ctrl-Alt-Backspace 
is the X server reset command - takes you out of a graphic login and dumps 
you back at the login screen. There are also SysRq commands, as documented 
here:

(Tip19)

But then, you can be forgiven for not knowing what the commands are, they are 
rarely needed!
