I play some strategy games in win2k (now Vista), and they use either F3 or the
pause/break key to pause the game. Both of those solutions suck, IMHO.
Being right-handed, I use my left for some shortcuts, often resting my left
arm on the desk.
The esc key is far more convenient for me to use for pause or to pause & go to
a menu.
Being KDE, I'm sure it will be configurable by some method, but I think esc is
a good default.
