The only way I could find that works was an option for it in KDE4's |
| 26 |
keyboard layout settings. KDE was nice enough to explain what it is |
| 27 |
doing under the hood though, which is adding: |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
-option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
to the "setxkbmap" command it uses to apply the keyboard settings. |
