Hi Garret,
I think the visible difference being the X server terminate key
sequence (Ctrl-Alt-Bkspace) removed from
/usr/X11/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/srvr_ctrl group and put into a new group
/usr/X11/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/terminate. Rest of the server control keys
(Ctrl-Alt-<key>) still remain in /usr/X11/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/srvr_ctrl
file.
Javier may be able to add more info if needed. He will be back from
vacation coming Monday.
Regards,
Suresh
