No, I can't. However, the ever elusive "somebody else" can. :)
When I added Alt+F4 trapping I figured that it would be much better to
abstract the key trapping in such a manner that the user could
enable/disable default Windows key-combos, or assign them to different
combos. Alas, I never got around to doing that, as I hardly use
Cygwin/XFree86 on a daily basis, so I never felt the need to implement the
feature in question.
I'll give input on any questions related to the feature if someone else
works on implementing it; however, I do not intend to directly work on
implementing this feature. I will add it to the To-Do List if someone does
not claim it soon.
