Ditto.
That and the fact that Nautilus loves to grab focus when changing virtual desktops, and loves to interpret [SPACE] as the "go" key... Switch desktops, start typing into the app that's displayed, have a dozen filebrowser windows open because Nautilus, not the app, got focus - ARGH!

Turn it the fsck off? I haven't gotten pissed off enough at it to go spelunking yet - are the keybindings at that level of depth even configurable globally? If not, then *that* is what the GNOME developers should be pestered to do - expose full keybinding configurability rather than changing the defaults.
If somebody wants to humiliate me and supply a link to where the "how to kill the ^W keybinding in GNOME" document is posted in painful plain sight, feel free! :)

A simple solution, which prevents a lot of psychological pain - e.g., "Oh, no, I didn't want that window to disappear! I only wanted to delete the last word in my long article - Damn!" (not to mention gaining back productivity).
Thanks for posting that - now I can use ^H, ^U, and ^W to do what they're "supposed" to do - not to mention ^A and ^E! It's now fun and efficient to enter text with my browser again, like I'm doing right now!
I hope us UNIX geeks don't become too small a minority or we may be forced to conform to Windows-think at some point - 1984 style.
