I've just committed this, but it needed some changes to work with the
new XKB-configurable hot keys.  Did you find that the patch as sent
worked in that case?  I also found that the operation of
xf86EnableVTSwitch() was broken after the XKB hot key changes, and that
should be fixed now too.

A natural extension of this would be to allow this setting to be changed
via the XFree86-Misc extension.
