That's certainly not normal behavior.  XFree86 is normally configured to
kill the X server with Ctl+Alt+Backspace.  If the keyboard focus is on
the xterm, the Ctl+C should send the SIGINT to gdb.  You haven't told us
anything about what system you're running (Solaris?  QNX?), what window
manager you're using, what version of XFree86, or any unusual
configuration you've done (xmodmap?).  All I can do is assure you that
that's not normal behavior for X11, it's got to be something weird in
your configuration.
