Unfortunately Ubuntu decided that the one second delay to hit Esc was still too slow, so they removed it; instead from 9.10 onwards you must hit shift or alt at exactly the right moment.
That isn't good for usability. Ubuntu keep making decisions that I don't like, and hence I'm not an Ubuntu user. Recent reports by an Ubuntu maintainer about their development and release process are disturbing; the central claim is that due to the six-month cycle, the quality of releases is declining and there is a strong tendency to include new features before they are complete or reliable.
