Is it in /etc or /usr/share?:

You can add the following line in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/10-x11-input.fdi (inside
the <match key=�info.capabilities� contains=�input.keys�> section):

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

Not sure what you mean, but, that link gives 4 different ways to re-enable the
function, user by user in Gnome & KDE, some other way, and the xkb additon.
the point was that if you look up that page how ever you want to "re-enable"
the function you can.

I mean: I said I believed "dontzap" was no longer supported, and that page
_says_ "dontzap" is no longer supported. So what does your response have to
offer me? If you really meant to respond to the OP, respond to the OP.
