System Hotkeys
I keep stumbling upon an very annoying hotkey. I'm using SuSE Personal 9.1, and whenever I hit Shift+Backspace, it kills the X server and returns to the console prompt. I'm using KDE3 and I can't seem to find the option to turn this off in the control panel or in YAST2. If I can turn this function off, how? I repeatedly bump it while typing.

ummm..the way you get dumped out is ctrl alt and backspace. How can you hit it that often or do you do ctrl alt f2?

I assure you, Shift+Backspace also does it. I just tested it.

How would I do that? I'm a newb.
I think I found the file, but I don't know what to do.
