ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't work anymore after system update

After a recent system update (xorg got updated among other packages), ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't restart gdm anymore.

Before you say it, I have the following in my /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option "DontZap" "false"
EndSection

Here is the relevant portion from my /var/log/pacman.log and as you can see, xorg-server did get updated.

@stryder - thank you for the link.  I took my discussion to that thread.
