as of xorg-x11-server-1.6.0-18, the default for DontZap is "off" (i.e. the same
default as in F10 and before, it allows zapping).

Zapping works in two-stages:
- the trigger is the xkb symbol Terminate_Server (default - don't include
symbol)
- the final decision is the DontZap setting (default - allow zapping)

I agree with Kevin that this package will confuse users. Disabling or enabling
DontZap has no effect if the Terminate_Server symbol isn't present. In current
Rawhide, this symbol must be explicitly added through the gnome keyboard
settings or setxkbmap.
