I didn't do anything. Just let the installer pick the keyboard type, etc. during the initial install. (It picked correctly, by the way.) Here's /etc/default/keyboard: ======================= >8 ++++++++++++++++++++++ # KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE # Consult the keyboard(5) manual page.

Never installed console-tools. And it isn't installed. However kbd is. Probably as a dependency. I didn't manually install it. However, all but three entries are commented out in /etc/kbd/config. None of which have anything to do with key combos. Still think the key disabling is a consequence of installing a desktop environment. The powers that be don't want you using it to shutdown X and quit the desktop (for whatever reasons). However, if you haven't installed any of the environments, the combo doesn't get disabled, even if you have installed X and a window manager. Just a theory.
