For that you can run 'dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration'. Don't

This works on my maching only if I have started X with startx, not if

You could try diff'ing the logs and also look through gdm's config

I don't think that it is disabling it on purpose because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. There doesn't appear to be any rhyme nor reason for when it does/ not.

The associated behaviour of the keystrokes ctrl+alt+backspace is already set for logout, but again doesn't seem to work reliably. I don't know if it is GDM or Gnome, because other DE/WM allow me to logout quite reasonably and reliably.

Go figure - it has me stumped (which I admit is not difficult to do, but even so).
