Pause is already taken as being a force pause (freeze).
One problem is that you can define just about any keycombo in some of
these window managers, so there is nothing that works everywhere; however
some combinations are used more often than others.

ctrl+alt+scroll_lock might be something that makes sense though, since
you're locking the mouse. something to think about post-1.1.4 :)

For KDE I have ctrl+alt+esc (kill), ctrl+alt+del (logout).
