Don’t know how many times I accidentally pressed Ctrl+W when I wanted to delete a word in some non-terminal app, instead closing it and losing all the text I’ve written. Now I found out you can do this:
gconftool --set /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme \
--type string Emacs
Then Ctrl+W does what it should!
