Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdm
Kubuntu 8.10, fully updated.
kdm 4:4.1.3-
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace kills X. Previous versions of KDM restarted X in response - like every other login manager. The current version doesn't, so you have to switch to a console and run "/etc/init.d/kdm restart".
This is only when the key combination is used from the login screen. Once I've logged in, it seems killing X with C-A-B causes it to be restarted.

Hello Alan.
Actually, if I am not mistaken, the key combo itself is for restarting X, not killing it. That would also explain why it works on all of my machines. I would assume there is some flaw in your xorg.conf or (which is more likely) the graphics driver, preventing X from restarting properly.
I am moving this bug to the xorg package for further investigation.
Thank you for this report, and have a nice day :)
