I also like that you can change your screen resolution (if you have
more than one set up) with Ctrl-Alt-Plus and Ctrl-Alt-Minus (cycling
though, so Ctrl-Alt-- after Ctrl-Alt-+ will get you back to your
previous resolution). It's come in handy with stuff that's very small
(like xanim, or certain games), and, unlike the Other OS, you don't
have to reboot!
