I was reading through the F11A Release Notes when I came across
this:
"The key combination Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill the X server has been
disabled by default as a decision of the upstream Xorg project."
Having to deal with many servers and workstations in a company it is crucial
that Ctrl-Alt-Backspace be enabled by default. There are times when your
KVM has lost mouse control or X is in a tight loop and something like
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace can save the situation. This is much more common than
the uncommon cases that are illustrated as to why this has been removed as
default.
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace needs to be restored as the "default" and Emacs users or
others that find themselves in conflict with Java expressions can just
disable it for their very limited purpose.

So what am I supposed to do when X starts with the monitor off [1] ?
Restart the commuter?
