Hi. It may not be possible to do this, but here is a way to work around the problem: >From the xlogin prompt, you can switch to a virtual console by C-A-F2 (or C-A-F3, etc.). From a console login prompt, C-A-DEL works. All you have to do is make sure you have not disallowed this in your X configuration.
