 But I think I already did that:

# grep terminate /etc/default/keyboard 
XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

 Trying with no xorg.conf and:

# grep terminate /etc/default/keyboard 
XKBOPTIONS="terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"

 still no luck, maybe a kfreebsd bug?

 Hmm, /usr/share/doc/xloadimage/copyright says:

src.doc.ic.ac.uk:/packages/X11/R5contrib/xloadimage.4.1.tar.gz

 src.doc.ic.ac.uk don't seem to answer on http nor ftp, and

http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/BuildingX?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=xloadimage&titlesearch=Titles

 says "Your search query "xloadimage" didn't return any results."
 So, upstream don't seem to be within xorg.
