Thanks for the clarification, Andrei! Of course, you're right in all respects...To be absolutely precise in what follows: The "backspace" key is part of the main alphabetic/numeric cluster. The "del" key is part of the cluster with "page-up", "home", "end" and so on.
It's a Macintosh keyboard. The "backspace" key on my keyboard is marked "delete" -- the "del" key is *also* marked "delete". Hence some of the confusion.
What I *should* have written, with that as background is:I've got xfce desktop installed pretty-much as it comes fresh-out-of- the-box with Wheezy.
I'd like to have <ctrl>-<alt>-<backspace> restart the X server. (But failing that, I'd be happy with <ctrl>-<alt>-<del> doing that job, if that's what it takes.)
I've configured <ctrl>-<alt>-<backspace> to do so with "dpkg- reconfigure keyboard-configuration", but (even after a reboot) that doesn't seem to do the job.
Specifically, <ctrl>-<alt>-<backspace> did nothing before I did "dpkg- reconfigure keyboard-configuration", and it still does nothing now. (Same for <ctrl>-<alt>-<del>.)
So what am I missing? Thanks! Rick
