Consider that "logout" has the key equivalent Command-q,
and ask yourself that question again.  Suppose the Workspace
just happened to be active when you thought Terminal was
active, and you thought you were quitting out of Terminal
when you hit Command-q.  Would you really want it to log
you out with no confirmation?

I wouldn't.  It's not that hard to click one more confirmation
dialog.

Just my opinion, though.  I don't have the answer to your
question, so I thought I would question your question :-)
