So, does this function disable *only* C-A-KP-slash/star, or does it
disable *all* the magic key sequences?  That's what I couldn't figure
out from reading the source.

(People request all the time that when the screen is locked, it should
be impossible to switch to another VT, or to kill the server.  But of
course they want to be able to switch/kill when the screen is unlocked,
so just turning those keys off permanently in XF86Config isn't what they
want.)
