Now, arguably, a better approach would have been to leave DontZap as the default but remove the Terminate_Server entry from the default XKB maps. That would let clients rebind it if they want to, which can be done without requiring administrative privileges. </pre> </blockquote> <tt> I also made a suggestion upstream that to protect Emacs users, the default Ctrl-Alt-Backspace could be left enabled but that it would have to be pressed TWICE in order to kill the X server. This way tools that embed the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace keysequence such as virtualization tools would still work. The user would just have to select it twice from the menu. And this would be a lot more acceptable than just disabling the Ctrl-Alt-Backspace default. Regards, Gerry </tt> </body> </html>
