[Bug 516467] [NEW] Terminate_Server in xmodmap kills X on shift+backspace

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I have an xmodmap (generated with earlier Ubuntu) that had:

keycode  22 = BackSpace Terminate_Server BackSpace

On karmic, shitf+backspace kills X server. I practically never hit the
old ctrl+alt+backspace problem, but this kept tripping me up quite often
until I found the exact combo and was able to do the right google
search.

This would seem like a higher priority problem than the rare
ctrl+alt+backspace problem that was solved with nozap. Perhaps xmodmap
shouldn't be able to provide Terminate_Server symbol, or the symbol
should be ignored?
