Yes, it's the natural outcome in any normal GUI application that doesn't have 
Emacs's complicated relation to SIGINT.

I certainly don't mind if you change Emacs in this respect. The root of the 
problem is that we use SIGINT for C-g. More precisely, that we set C-g as the 
INTR char for TTY frames. (This is done for historical reasons and should be 
understood in that context.)
