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.

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.

In your XF86Config file find the following section and uncomment the DontZap option. This as it says will disable the key action. # ** # Server flags section. # ** Section ServerFlags # Uncomment this to cause a core dump at the spot where a signal is # received.

From the man page XF86Config: DontZap This disallows the use of the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace sequence. This sequence allows you to terminate the X server. Setting DontZap allows this key sequence to be passed to clients.
