Add

Option "DontZap" "off"

to the "ServerFlags" section in xorg.conf

From my /etc/X11/xorg.conf :


Section "ServerFlags"
    Option         "Xinerama" "0"
    Option         "IgnoreABI" "True"
    Option         "DontZap" "off"
EndSection

Tom said...: Hi Vigstrom, did you mean KDE 4.2? because it didn't work with me with Gnome.
here's how it did the job for me: --> Console: -->
$sudo apt-get install dontzap$ (if it's not installed, surely) -->
$sudo dontzap -e$
(prints "DontZap" to "True" in xorg.conf (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does not restart the xserver))
$sudo dontzap -d$
(prints "DontZap" to "False" in xorg.conf (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace restarts the xserver))
