I'm curious: when/how would it be possible for the server to be
sufficiently responsive that ctrl-alt-bs would be able to kill it
(assuming xorg.conf has been suitably edited), but it's sufficiently
unresponsive that switching to a different VT doesn't work?

Rather than restoring ctrl-alt-bs perhaps it would be more useful
to try to make the VT-switching code robust enough that it is
"always" available - at least in cases where the keyboard handler
is sufficiently alive that ctrl-alt-bs could conceivably work.
