Already re-enabled.  However, I still think it was a stupid decision.  There 
should ALWAYS be manual overrides even if you never use them.

Also, FYI (and everybody else's, too), if you boot to a terminal--to login, 
etc., that is, no X--which is what I do for the first few weeks with a new 
install, then startx to load the desktop, ctrl-alt-backspace is enabled.  
That's why I never noticed the change after a clean install of F12 (originally 
using F9).  I would c-a-b to quit X and fall back to the terminal, if I needed 
to.
