I think CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE should still reset the XServer as there are many tutorials out there which say something like "and now hit CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE to restart your XServer". If this wouldn't work, many user would be helpless because they wouldn't now that this has been deactivated.

IMHO the best solution would be to just restart the XServer after holding CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE for several seconds. This way it's unlikely you would restart your XServer by accident. Also if a newbie reads a tutorial with the advice to press CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE, he might have the idea to hold it for several seconds.

What do you think?
