Section "ServerFlags" Option "DontZap" "false" EndSection I see stackexchange adds ection "InputClass" Identifier "Keyboard Defaults" MatchIsKeyboard "yes" Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" EndSection Also, at least with the more minimalist window managers (I usually use either Openbox or dwm) one can also use ctl+alt+F<whatever>, get to a console and do sudo pkill X. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6

I just found this on worldofgnome.org: Using Xinitrc Xinitrc is read by xinit and is been executed when we (desktops) start X. Create a new file (if not exists): gedit ~/.xinitrc Add setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp $ setxkbmap ... will set the changes on the fly. Restart X to apply changes.
