Actually, what was preventing the Ctrl-Alt-BS key combo from working
was a line in my ~/.xmodmap that I'd forgotten about:
keycode 22 = BackSpace Prior
Which I commented out when trying the keycode mentioned in my previous
post. It was the commenting out of this line that allowed Ctrl-Alt-BS
to effectively Zap X ... What I've finally arrived at, to remap Zap to
something else is as follows:
in ~/.xmodmap :
! Make Control_R the Mode_switch key
add mod2 = Mode_switch
keycode 105 = Mode_switch
! make Shift-Control_R-Delete Zap X
keycode 119 = Delete Delete Delete Terminate_Server
Then, in /etc/X11/xorg.conf set "DontZap" to "off" :
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "DontZap" "off" #disable <Crtl><Alt><BS> (server abort)
EndSection
Or just comment out the above. Or leave it out entirely, but do not
set it to "on".
Now X will be Zapped by pressing Shift-Control_R-Delete, a somewhat
more unlikely key-press combo (for me anyways).
BTW, I found this guide to be very helpful in understanding xmodmap:
