Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
the option to use ctrl-alt-backspace to restart the whole x-server thing should be disable by default. There souldn't be a key that allows you to kill the whole x-server without asking for permission, or asking the user to confirm his action.
This thing isn't really useful, it's even not necessary as it can be done by a "pkill X" any time.
or consider accidentally hiting those keys, then all you unsaved work is gone. or if someone who wants to be mean to you hits those keys etc...
imho this should be disabled by default, anyone who really wants it can enable it at any time.
