 Does anyone know how to restore the previous behaviour?

 I don't have any keyboard-related sections in xorg.conf (only
 a Files section with some old font paths).

This works for me:

Section ServerFlags
Option DontZap false
EndSection


 AFAIK that will reenable killing X with ctrl+alt backspace,

That one was fixed already.

 but shouldn't affect the behaviour of Shift+BS surely?

It shouldn't, though stranger things have happened so I checked
anyway (it doesn't affect it).

Yes, new xkeyboard-config broke this behaviour. This patch should help.
I think there is no objection if he gets into a tree.

OK ?

shift+backspace in X

2011-11-01 Thread Stuart Henderson 
In X, shift + backspace used to work the same as backspace on its own
(i.e. delete the previous character), but no longer does so in recent
-current, most likely following the xkb update.

Does anyone know how to restore the previous behaviour?

I don't have any keyboard-related sections in xorg.conf (only
a Files section with some old font paths).
