In reply to http://bugs.debian.org/357697,
http://bugs.debian.org/53776, and
http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0012.2/0171.html :
I think it is a design bug that the PrtSc key sends ^\ which means
SIGQUIT. Evidently the new maintainers of the new keymap package
agreed because they changed the meaning of PrtSc to Compose a while
ago. I filed a bug report about the PrtSc behavior in the old keymaps
in the console-data package ("PrintScreen key causes many apps to
suddenly die if you are running in Linux text mode") in Ubuntu[1]. I
also forwarded the bug upstream to Debian[2].
