Comment 14 for bug 90434

this thing is a huge fail for ubuntu and linux in general .. screw backwards-compatibility wrt. blog-posts mentioning how to restart X; we're supposed to be moving forward ...... make it ctrl-alt-shift-backspace or something that requires some tiiny significant amount of effort from the user to really show that he "means it" ....... x)

i've added dontzap to xorg.conf .. bought new hardware or switched between screens, reconfigured xorg.conf, then had this crap hit me again and again as my edited xorg.conf got overwritten ..

i've tried to do what's described here:
http://www.foldr.org/~michaelw/log/programming/lisp/dontzap-emacs

..ie; "rewiring" the backspace key using a configfile in my ~ directory ... but it doesn't work, X seems to ignore this; things keep failing badly and shit keeps on hitting the fan as i manage to hit this key-combo time and time again .. ctrl-backspace is a very common key when deleting words etc. .. it's just too close ...
