In Jaunty the useful CTRL-ALT-Backspace combination for killing a crahed
X-server has been discontinued, much to my regret. See discussion:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XorgCtrlAltBackspace/Discussion
Do you think we should keep it that way, reinstate CTRL-ALT-Backspace, or
preinstall Dontzap (which allows switching the feature on and off)?
please, don't change the current, just advise people they can install
dontzap if really necessary.
The whole point of disabling Ctrl.+Alt+Backspace is to avoid having
non registered KDE sessions and subsequent data loss by users who just
kill without thinking, and that's unfortunately the majority of our
users in K/X/Ubuntu. Advanced users who really have to kill the X
server can use Ctlr+SysRq+k so the current KDE session can be saved,
or install Dontzap. These changes have been made by Xorg and adopted
by the Ubuntu core devs, period.
Thank you Myriam, also WaVeR. Good points; I tried Ctlr+SysRq+k and it works.
So
I'll just mention this in the documentation. I don't see any need for Dontzap
now.
Cheers, Theo
