You used to be able to do it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but not sure if it
still works. 



Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "DontZap" "false"
EndSection

I see stackexchange adds

ection "InputClass"
    Identifier      "Keyboard Defaults"
    MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
    Option          "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
EndSection

Also, at least with the more minimalist window managers (I usually use
either Openbox or dwm) one can also use ctl+alt+F<whatever>, get to a
console and do sudo pkill X.
