Change Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to something else

Hi

Is there any way to change the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace key combination in X to something else, e.g. Ctrl+Alt+Windows+Backspace?

Note that I don't want to disable the "zapping" behavior by changing DontZap, but simply change the combination.

Re: Change Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to something else

This _looks_ like it, but doesn't really make a lot of sense:

xmodmap -pke | grep BackSpace
keycode  22 = BackSpace Terminate_Server BackSpace Terminate_Server BackSpace Terminate_Server

The first keysym is used when no modifier key is pressed in conjunction with this key, the second with Shift, the third when the Mode_switch key is used with this key and the fourth when both the Mode_switch and Shift keys are used. The last four are not used in any major X server implementation.
