https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=388189 Summary: Can't kill X with ctrl-alt-backspace Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: agraf@novell.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com CC: nat@novell.com, mge@novell.com Found By: --- Recently I tried to kill my X server and only received a loud beep. Due to the nature of beeps, this didn't give me any hint at all, I thought my keyboard was broken at first. I actually had to ask some X developers to find out that this is the intended behavior. Apparently this is supposed to be a "security feature" so you don't kill the X server by pressing ctrl-alt-backspace easily, but only on the second time you press it. Unfortunatly I as a user don't get any information about what's going on. There are several ways to do this properly, please don't do a quick hack that makes things worse. For example you could go the windows ctrl-alt-del way - just show a logoff window when ctrl-alt-bs was hit the first time, stating that if you press it again the X server gets killed. If no logout window can be displayed (no WM running or so) kill it right away (this makes testing of new configurations easier). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
