Hello,

Thanks

I have DontZap false, but after updating today, the option isn't preserving the shortcut's functionality.

You can also add the following line in the file '/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi' if you use HAL :

<merge key="input.xkb.options" type="string">terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp</merge>

i believe it's best to put this in ~/.xinitrc as it's only needed then; not each time .bashrc is sourced.

/edit: typo.
