Scott,

Ctrl-esc is used on all windows 95/98/2k etc systems as an alternative
to the dedicated "Start Menu" key. Windows will always intercept this
key combination, and even if that could be prevented it would not
necessarily be a good idea - when running Squeak full screen I use the
start menu to gain access to the windows taskbar+system tray, and on a
machine with a pre-win 95 keyboard (such as the one I'm typing this
mail on) I need the ctrl-esc combination to get to the same effect.
