I closed the bug because there's no bug here. DontZap is off, but
that's orthogonal to whether your xkb map includes the Terminate_Server
action. In order for ctrl+alt+bksp to work, you need to have it mapped
to Terminate_Server, *and* you need the server to react to this. The
former used to be always true, and is now controlled by
terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp in xkb-data (which is off by default). The
latter is what DontZap switches.
