[Bug 1195871] [Plasma][Wayland] Disabling the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace shortcut is incredibly difficult, and should be handled by the DE

It's a SUSE specific patch in xkeyboard-config: n_suse-ctrl-alt-bksp-terminate.patch

/usr/share/X11/xkb/./rules/evdev [...] $evdevkbds = +inet(evdev)+inet(%m)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp) chromebook = +inet(evdev)+inet(chromebook)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp) applealu_jis = +inet(evdev)+macintosh_vndr/jp(alujiskeys)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp) * = +inet(evdev)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp) [...]

Yep, that's the cause of the issue. What was this patch originally added for? If it's to enable ctrl_alt_bksp by default, it's obsolete (and wrong in any case). All default keyboard configurations already include it: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/9dfb429a44b0c7e4c50f35f888ac8ba3c677... So can this just be dropped?

Why is that an issue on Wayland? I don't get it. How do you kill an Xserver with that? Which one? Xwayland? How?

(Most) Wayland compositors use xkb keymaps (through libxkbcommon) and handle XK_Terminate_Server like X.org. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
