I don't believe that Maverick's kernel changed anything in that regard; the SysRq key functionaly has been pretty much the same since Linux' inception. It's more likely that something changed in X.org or the desktop environments. > It's also well known that if you want sysrq, you use control+alt+prscr. Where is that documented?

At least here it works just like alt+sysrq, i. e. actually triggers a sysrq. > Everything about this stinks to me and I think we should fight upstream > all the way on this, disabling the new kernel configuration by default. Do you have proof (or a patch) which would actually identify this as a kernel change? That would be helpful to actually understand what's going on here.
