Hello,

just a little more information on this issue...

This problem does still exist in 2.30.5-4 and turns up whenever gdm3
starts any session- or window-manager that does not fiddle around with
the xkbmap itself - i.e. virtually every session- and window-manager
except Gnome.

gdm3 removes the terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp) symbol from the xkbmap but
does not restore it when firing up user's X session.

Here is the output of `setxkbmap -print' under Fvwm started via startx
or via kdm:
xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwertz)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+de(nodeadkeys)+inet(evdev)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"	};
};

Here is the output of `setxkbmap -print' under Fvwm started via gdm3:
xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwertz)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+de(nodeadkeys)+inet(evdev)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "pc(pc105)"	};
};
