Note that in later versions of X, this is disabled by default--this was
an xorg decisions, apparently, they felt too many were typing it by
mistake.  


It can be enabled with an entry in /etc/X11/xorg.conf  
(It can, apparently, also be enabled with a Gnome GUI, but not using
Gnome, I've forgotten what it is.)


I suspect that in CentOS 6, it will no longer work, not sure about 5.x
at this point.
