@_dan_:
It's a change that took place in the xserver (upstream) and now it's up to the Desktop environment (e.g. Gnome, Kde) to enable it or to disable it. You can also enable/disable zapping without Kde or Gnome as all the work is done by xkb now.

If you're using Gnome:
Get to the System->Preferences->Keyboard menu.
Select the Layout tab and click on the "Layout Options" button. Then select "Key sequence to kill the X server" and enable "Control + Alt + Backspace".

Or, if you're using KDE:
Launch "systemsettings"
Select "Regional & Language".
Select "Keyboard Layout".
Click on "Enable keyboard layouts" (in the Layout tab).
Select the "Advanced" tab. Then select "Key sequence to kill the X server" and enable "Control + Alt + Backspace".

Or from the command line (this is not a permanent change):
setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp

Or 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></match>

** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Invalid
