Come think about it, why not stop depending on SIGINT for quitting?
We already do that in GUI session (AFAIU), so why should TTY frames be
different? We could just detect C-g in the SIGIO handler, no?
If this makes sense, then this whole issue would go away. Of course,
we will then lose the "emergency exit" feature, but since core dumps
are reportedly disabled on many systems anyway, that doesn't sound
like too much of a loss, and GUI sessions already cannot use it
anyway.
