Normally the CTRL-ALT-DELETE is mapped to reboot, perhaps this is what
is happening. This is set up in /etc/inittab and can be changed to run
any command you want (e.g. /bin/true to do nothing).
CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE will normally kill X and return you to the text login
prompt.
(Hopefully we can all agree to (almost) ignore the other, pathetic,
reply to Joseph's original question.)
