Bug Description

It would be nice to see a link to the System Monitor added to the menu that pops up when you press ctrl-alt-delete. Right now a logout menu appears, it would be nice if perhaps instead of solely a logout option appearing, we could get a 'more' functional menu incorporating things like "logout" "lockscreen" and, most importantly, "System Monitor".

As the System Monitor is SUCH a usefully little application that is very very similar to the Windows "Task Manager", it would be nice to see it better acknowledged in the interface. Many people will probably not know that it is even present, and for potential Windows converts (which is most people) it will just be another added level of comfort knowing that they can use a familiar ctrl-alt-delete to get to a VERY familiar System Monitor/Task Manager.

Just my two cents, but I don't think it could hurt, and I believe that it could only help.
