That's not the method for current Rawhide. Now you have to enable an option
in your GNOME or KDE keyboard settings. If you're not using either of those
or if you're using KDE without a configured custom keyboard layouts, most
likely Ctrl+Alt+BkSp is already working for you (it only gets disabled when
the desktop environment reconfigures the keyboard when it starts). The
reason this got changed is so you can use Ctrl+Alt+BkSp in GDM/KDM if your
X11 does not work at all and so it can be reenabled individually by regular
users.
