disable Command+Q in OSX
Install Quicksilver.
Enable the User Interface Access Plugin and in OS X > System Preferences > Universal Access enable access for assistive devices.
Create a new Custom Trigger > Hotkey, in the first field press "." and write say "Ooops", press TAB and in the 2nd field select Run as AppleScript, leave the 3rd field empty.
There are a few more things you can do like setting the applications for which the Hotkey should work but the important thing is to set the Hot Key to Command+Q.
I'll next try to restrict it to the apps for which the close proximity to the Command+W combo makes it a dangerous feature, like Eclipse and Firefox ;)

Works like a charm! Just what I was looking for. Thanks.
A gotcha when first setting this up - you need to restart Quicksilver before it takes effect. Also, to set the hotkey, you need to press the 'Settings' tab in the side box menu - just in case it does not seem to be in an intuitive place (as was the case for me).
Yeah, works! One of the most important utility for MacOS that should be included like a part of distribution!!! Tell them! ;)
