        These are WM (or not; blackbox had an utility to add shortcut support)
specific. The documentation is your friend. If the WM you're using doesn't have
documentation, use the source :)

        You can disable this in XFree86's configuration (XF86Config):

<<
# Uncomment this to disable the <Crtl><Alt><BS> server abort sequence
# This allows clients to receive this key event.

#    Option "DontZap"

# Uncomment this to disable the <Crtl><Alt><KP_+>/<KP_-> mode switching
# sequences.  This allows clients to receive these key events.

#    Option "Dont Zoom"

        This is for 3.x series, read the docs to know how to do this with the 4.x ones.
