Why do you want to quick with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace? ddTry to close your mrxvt *before* you press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, this *should be* a safe way... But this, as you said, don't solve the problem... If I kill x server with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace without closing mrxvt window, ksh (and only ksh, because csh/tcsh works...) doesn't exit. I can kill these sleeping ksh, but what is locked (from mrxvt), I think, is utmp. If I try to w, my system doesn't respond. I'm investigating...
