the ctrl-alt-backspace key is trapped by the X server itself and this can be
disabled. See xorg.conf(5) for more information:
Option "DontZap" "boolean"
This disallows the use of the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace sequence. That
sequence is normally used to terminate the Xorg server. When
this option is enabled (as per default), that key sequence has
no special meaning. Default: on.
