I was reading through the F11A Release Notes when I came across this:
"The key combination Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill the X server has
been disabled by default as a decision of the upstream Xorg project."
Having to deal with many servers and workstations in a company it is
crucial that Ctrl-Alt-Backspace be enabled by default. There are times
when your KVM has lost mouse control or X is in a tight loop and
something like Ctrl-Alt-Backspace can save the situation. This is much
more common than the uncommon cases that are illustrated as to why this
has been removed as default.
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace needs to be restored as the "default" and Emacs users
or others that find themselves in conflict with Java expressions can
just disable it for their very limited purpose.
aaaaaaagh, here comes the zombie thread again...run! run for your lives!
Well, sorry, didn't mean to hit some nerve. But, having
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is critical to system admins and most users. Only
Emacs users have a problem with this and they are how much of the total
distro population? (two fingers pinched). All the virtualization tools
rely upon Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to restart X and you'll find it on all
their menues.

Gerry
