However, I still think it was a stupid decision. There should ALWAYS be manual overrides even if you never use them. Also, FYI (and everybody else's, too), if you boot to a terminal--to login, etc., that is, no X--which is what I do for the first few weeks with a new install, then startx to load the desktop, ctrl-alt-backspace is enabled. That's why I never noticed the change after a clean install of F12 (originally using F9). I would c-a-b to quit X and fall back to the terminal, if I needed to.
