Sorry if this sounds troll-ish, but IMHO if your application is designed 
in such a way that you need to sacrifice standard browser functionality 
such as the back button, then your application is very broken.

Presumably if the user presses the back button and it doesn't work, the 
next thing that will happen is that they'll close their browser and be 
annoyed with your app... I don't see any reason for which you'd want to 
break such a basic, important piece of standard functionality.
