Dear maintainer, I would like to bind killing X server to something less
easy to hit accidentally than Ctrl-Alt-Bksp. I could bind it, for
instance, to Ctrl-Alt-Del and it worked, but the very same approach
fails with Ctrl-Alt-XF86ScreenSaver which I actually would like to use.
Minimal non-working example:
~/.xkb (that is loaded with xkbcomp):
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes {
include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)"
};
xkb_types {
include "complete"
};
xkb_compatibility {
include "complete"
};
xkb_symbols {
include "pc+us+inet(evdev)"
key <I160> {
type = "CTRL+ALT",
symbols =
[ NoSymbol, NoSymbol, NoSymbol, NoSymbol, Terminate_Server ]
};
};
};
So the relevant part of applied config looks like (excerpt from output
of $ xkbcomp $DISPLAY -):
key <I160> {
type= "CTRL+ALT",
symbols[Group1]= [ XF86ScreenSaver, NoSymbol, NoSymbol, NoSymbol,
Terminate_Server ]
};
When I press C-A-XF86ScreenSaver xev sees the correct keysym
(Terminate_Server), however it does not have any real effect:

I have not try all XF86* keys, but done several — the same story.
