For some reason Woody's X on the 68K Macs appears to be eating the
Control-Option-Delete and Control-Option-Fx key combinations before
passing them on to the kernel. Ctrl-Option-Fx works as it should from a
console, but from the X screen it does nothing. I've got too much work
to do for the 2.4.x and 2.5.x kernel to spend any time on this however.
