Yes, and I hate it. Yesterday I locked up my window manager trying to run compiz, and the only thing left to do was typing "su -", entering my password and type "halt". No way to CTRL+ALT+BS the server.
I'll hunt the commit down on git and revert it. This key sequence has been standard since the first version of X, it's similar to the three-finger-salute windows users are used to. It's not that someone would press CTRL+ALT+BS by accident or something.
Just wondering : switching to a TTY (using CTRL+ALT+F{1..6}) and killing the X server from there doesn't work anymore ? -- slubman site: http://www.slubman.info/
