Comment(by gnu):

 Python handles signals all the time, anyway, so it can handle SIGINT (^C).
 The real fix is coming along, so I suggest just working on it rather than
 on short-term hacks.  If you want to spend an hour or two on it, look at
 the GNOME bug above and volunteer to test their changes by building them
 in the OLPC environment and testing 'em.  They lack a realistic test case.
