Open your favorite terminal emulator (ie. gnome-terminal, xterm,
konsole) and type:

  stty quit undef

then type:

  R

The first command will disable the QUIT signal within the tty session,
which by default is set to CTRL-\. This will not change other console
sessions.

Of course this behavior may introduce other problems.  :-)

BTW, you might want to consider updating your FC distro, as FC3 is now
EOL and only supported by the Fedora Legacy folks. That support will end
on December 31.  At this point of course, you might just want to wait
until FC 6 is out sometime in the next week or so.

HTH,
