A lot of people are also unaware that typing 'Ctrl-r' from the xdm login screen
exits xdm. Note that xdm is not killed. This mapping is actually set up by the
resources for the server in /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources, resource
xlogin*login.translations. At least on my system I have:
xlogin*login.translations: #override\
Ctrl<Key>R: abort-display()\n\
<Key>F1: set-session-argument(failsafe) finish-field()\n\
Ctrl<Key>Return: set-session-argument(failsafe) finish-field()\n\
<Key>Return: set-session-argument() finish-field()
