@_dan_: It's a change that took place in the xserver (upstream) and now it's up to the Desktop environment (e.g. Gnome, Kde) to enable it or to disable it. You can also enable/disable zapping without Kde or Gnome as all the work is done by xkb now.
If you're using Gnome: Get to the System->Preferences->Keyboard menu. Select the Layout tab and click on the "Layout Options" button. Then select "Key sequence to kill the X server" and enable "Control + Alt + Backspace". Or, if you're using KDE: Launch "systemsettings" Select "Regional & Language". Select "Keyboard Layout". Click on "Enable keyboard layouts" (in the Layout tab). Select the "Advanced" tab. Then select "Key sequence to kill the X server" and enable "Control + Alt + Backspace". Or from the command line (this is not a permanent change): setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp Or you can add the following line in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi (inside the <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys"> section): <merge key="input.xkb.options" type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge></match> ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- [9.10] dontzap false does not work anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/391129 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
