OK I've narrowed it down to gnome-terminal. If I use konsole (kde3 or kde4) 
ctrl+c works just fine.

Can anyone else try in gnome-terminal and see if ctrl+c is broken for you? Just 
type 'ping whatever' and then try to kill ping with crtl+c. I can't and that's a 
problem.

I'm using using gnome-terminal 2.30.2-1
