Hi,

I would like to configure my system some how so that when non root
users logon, the system disables Alt + Ctrl + Backspace from killing
X. But when root is logged on, ALt + Ctrl + Backspace should work as
usual. I know a DontZap entry in Xconfig will disable it for
everyone. But this needs to be a bit more selective. So it seems
like I have to write some kind of a program that will look at key
strokes and filter out Alt + Ctrl + Backspace combinations.

If there is a better way, I am most definitely open to it. Thanks.

Xin Li
