Public bug reported:
I am not sure which package this should be filed against...
I just upgraded to Jaunty a couple of days ago and stumbled upon the
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace removal "feature"...
So now, I am trying to use AltGr+SysRq+K to restart X, just testing, mind you,
to feel confident that I'll have a way out if/whenever things go awry.
However, no matter how many times I try it, or when I try it, same thing always
happens:
It logs me out of gnome, and restarts X, which restarts gdm (or at least it
prompts me for a password)
At that point in time, my laptop stops responding, as far as the keyboard and
the mouse are concerned. I can't even use Ctrl+Alt+F[1-8] to check/change
anything.
I know Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and AltGr+SysRq+k are different, because after
reenabling Ctrl+Alt+Backspace with ServerFlag DontZap "False", i can
break out of X and log in again normally, but the same does not happen
if I try to use Alt+SysRq+K...
This is 100% reproducible on my laptop, an Acer Aspire 3003WLMi.
