Public bug reported:
kde 4.2 jaunty has a configuration item in System Settings > Display >
Size & Orientation > "Ctrl+Alt+Backspace restarts the xserver."
When I check this to enable it and hit Apply, my /etc/X11/xorg.conf is
displaced with an empty file with only the dontzap option line. My
xorg.conf should not be displaced. The dontzap option should be
appended to the existing xorg.conf.
This is the contents of /etc/X11 before hitting the Apply button:
paul :/etc/X11$ ls
app-defaults ja_JP.eucJP xkb
xorg.conf.20090215202831 xorg.conf-fglABIerror xorg.conf-fglrx-9.2

My original xorg.conf was displaced to this file when I hit Apply. This
is the contents and is the same as the original.
