Apparently, you have to create an xorg.conf file with the following:

X Server 

The key combination Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill the X server has been disabled 
by default as a decision of the upstream Xorg project. To get this behavior 
back, add the the line 
Option "DontZap" "false"

to the ServerFlags section in xorg.conf. 

The Xorg project has changed the default DontZap setting to "true" after 
complaints from desktop users that accidentally hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace when 
trying to type Alt+Backspace, Ctrl+Backspace, or Shift+Backspace, or who had 
StickyKeys enabled. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is also a keyboard shortcut for deleting 
certain expressions in C and Java modes in Emacs.

Look into release notes, there you should find it.

Regards,

Antonio
