Hm, quite strange.

The options do work, but are superseeded by the device independent
layers.

Now there are two different places where these keys are handled. 
In the xwin-specific code where we filter the keypress and terminate
xwin if unixkill is set and inside the dix layer which now handles 
ctrl-alt-backspace internally (without displaying the dialogbox).

you can temporarily disable it with

xmodmap "keycode 22 = BackSpace"

and enable it with

xmodmap "keycode 22 = BackSpace Terminate_Server"
