   Hello,
I realize the ctrl-alt-backspace behavior changed in 11.0 where you need to
hit ctrl-alt-backspace twice to kill the X server. In 10.3 when I
ctrl-alt-backspace the X-server/KDM is killed and restarted, but in 11.1
when I hit ctrl-alt-backspace twice the X server/kdm just drops into
console mode? no X-server/kdm restart.

Does anyone know how to get the old behavior back (X-server/kdm restart on
ctrl-alt-backspace)? Where is this configured?

We documented it in the 11.0 release notes, I've pasted the relevant paragraph
below:

Pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace on GNOME, KDE, or any other graphical desktop
does not terminate the X server any longer. If you press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
within 2 seconds again, it terminates the X server. On most hardware you hear
a beep after the first Ctrl-Alt-Backspace
press.

Yes, but that leaves him in text mode. Shouldn't X restart automatically? Is that configurable, or is it a bug? That's the OP question :-)
