Are you by providing that link in any way suggesting that there's been a keymap 
change that needs a user adjustment (for KDE users anyway if not others)? It provides 
no help where to look to make it happen globally in a post-sysvinit world.

For years, probably since the time of that document, I've had

	Option	"DontZap"	"off"
	Option	"ZapWarning"	"off"

somewhere in /etc/X11/xorg.con*. It used to work. Now it fails, but only in Fedora 
(at least as far back as F14, worked as recent at least as F8), so far that I've noticed.

They still get the job done in Cauldron's 1.15.99.902, Factory's 1.15.99.902.2 and 
Linux Mint LMDE (aka Debian Jessie/Sid) 1.14.3.
