- How to disable Ctrl+Alt+Backspace from restarting X in GNOME
Somehow, my fingers regularly find Ctrl+Alt+Backspace when I’m IMing or composing an email. This xorg.conf setting stops Ctrl+Alt+Backspace from nuking the X session.
(tags: ubuntu X11 restart xorg.conf linux)

Heh - it was actually Shift-Backspace that was resetting X - much easier to hit. This is an XGL issue; you need to do xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.<language> (i.e., for me, using US English, xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.us) every time you start X, not just once when you set things up. I put this in Gnome’s session startup programs list (System / Preferences / Sessions / Startup Programs) and all is well :-)
