X Server<br>
<br>
The key combination Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill the X server has been disabled by default. To get this behaviour back, add the the line<br>
<br>
Option "DontZap" "false"<br>
<br>
The time people find this has the wrong setting and that they need to change it us when the GUI has frozen and control-alt-bs doesn't work. They, they will assume it's just too frozen.<br>
<br>
Please make this default to "true." False _might_ be okay in RHEL, but I have my doubts even then. At least the audience is different and the arguments for "false" a little stronger.<br>
<br>
contrl-alt-backspace is way better than the reset button (if it exists) or the power switch, and those are the next choices for the trapped user or sysadmin.<br>
<br>
<br> Cheers<br>
