Re: ALT+CTRL+BS dangerous to X server

[Bob Clark <rlclark@penn.com>]

>From the man page XF86Config:

DontZap This  disallows  the use of the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
	sequence.  This sequence allows you  to  terminate
	the  X  server.   Setting  DontZap allows this key
	sequence to be passed to clients.

Uncomment the following line in /etc/X11/XF86Config
#    DontZap
