add the option -unixkill. This will ask you indstead of just killing the
server.

The problem is that the 4.3 release of XFree binds the killing of the server
to the keycode "TerminateServer". There is currently no way to override this
but you can remove that binding from keycode 22.

 xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace"
