Now that was singularly irritating.
For some reason, the shock of the consequences has made me I forget why, I
typed in control-alt-backspace.
Zap.
X rebooted.
Everything on my screen, two emacs sessions with many buffers, multi term
with about 15 tabs open in various useful places, a mail session, a web

A default feature.
Of X.
Weird.
Ah yes, cntrl-shift-backspace AND alt-backspace under emacs is delete
last word. Somehow my mind munged the two and did cntrl-alt-backspace
to do delete a word _harder_.

Option "DontZap" "true"
very very very very very silly.
Not Happy.
