Re: ALT+CTRL+BS dangerous to X server
See /etc/X11/XF86Config and in there section "ServerFlags". Uncomment the line that reads "DontZap" and that should do it. Man XF86Config tells more.

Use the DontZap flag in the XF86Config file. See 'man XF86Config'. [...] DontZap This disallows the use of the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace sequence. This sequence allows you to terminate the X server.

ALT+CTRL+BS dangerous to X server
Apparently, the keyboard combinbation of ALT+CTRL+Backspace is set up to kill the X server. Is there any way to rebind/remove this feature? It shadows the handy emacs function of backward-kill-sexp and I have just lost one too many session on this account. ---+-- Christian Lynbech | Computer Science Department, University of Aarhus Office: R0.32 | Ny Munkegade, Building 540, DK-8000 Aarhus C Phone: +45 8942 3218 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- www.daimi.aau.dk/~lynbech ---+-- Hit the philistines three times over the head with the Elisp reference manual. - [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Michael A.
