Quoting David Wright (deb...@lionunicorn.co.uk): > I think X made this change several years/Debian distributions ago.
Just some clarification for off-list replies: http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.0/doc/html/Xorg.1.html The special combinations of key presses recognized directly by Xorg are: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace Immediately kills the server -- no questions asked. This can be disabled with the DontZap xorg.conf(5x) file option. http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.5/doc/man/man1/Xorg.1.html The special combinations of key presses recognized directly by Xorg are: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace Immediately kills the server -- no questions asked. This is disabled by default. It can be enabled with the -retro command line flag or by setting the DontZap xorg.conf(5) file option to a FALSE value. It's 100% clear that Xorg made the change. It would be stupid of Debian to set a trap with CtrlAltBackspace for anyone who knew how X11R7.5 should behave by default.
