Of course, this is a rather special case. But even knowing almost
nothing about Lisp I roughly understood what these lines do. Hence I
assumed that the OP could change it if necessary. The ideal solution
would probably be something like the latex<->pdflatex switching.

Thanks. Looking back at Davids post he actually suggested 

(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook
          (lambda nil
             (define-key LaTeX-mode-map "\C-c\C-t\C-x" 'TeX-toggle-escape)))

The quoting seems to be a (now removed) relict in my ~/.emacs.
