Yeah, I haven't seen many people that really wanted this change.

If the Fedora maintainer doesn't want to override this (mostly poorly
received) upstream decision, please at least follow the suggestion made
here to make two changes:

- re-enable DontZap by default
- unbind the Terminate_Server keysym from Ctrl+Alt+Backspace

This makes it easier for end-users to re-enable the old behavior (on a
per-user basis instead of per-system basis even).

This brings up another thought though: is there a more up-to-date
keyboard mapping editor than xkeycaps (e.g. something integrated into
GNOME and KDE)?  I guess this specific binding could be added to the
GNOME keyboard layout options or keyboard shortcuts screens (I assume
there's something similar in KDE).
