Finally found something that works, this line in ~/.xmodmap : keycode 22 = BackSpace Terminate_Server Now Ctrl-Alt-BS will Zap X. And it is this alone that does it -- I undid all the other afore-mentioned bunch of things. Not sure I entirely understand the above keycode command ... I would think it means 'Shift-BS', but 'Shift-BS' has no effect. I got the clue from http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=602885#p602885 which suggested: keycode 22 = BackSpace BackSpace Terminate_Server But that has no effect, had to remove one 'BackSpace' from that line. In any case, setting 'Zap' in xmodmap with 'Terminate_Server' seems to make more sense, as it allows the user to set a key combo that suits them best (ie, least likely to be hit by accident).
