That is a good idea; didn't know about that binding.

   I don't agree with Alfred that minimization on a window system is
   suitably similar to warrant the C-z keybinding as well on a window
   system.

   All in all, I don't think maintaining C-z in its current meaning is
   worth the trouble, particularly on window systems.

I don't have strong feelings about C-z, C-x C-z for suspend-frame is
good, remapping C-z completely to undo is good.  As long as C-z
doesn't behave completely differently on console vs. windowing systems
(eg. undo vs. suspend-frame), I atleast have no qualms about remapping
it.
