Apparently there is some sort of server configuration floating around
where there are problems like this. I just closed as NOTGNOME (well,
not-GTK+) a similar problem:

  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347484

Maybe it's an Xgl problem (though I really think the reporter would
have mentioned Xgl if they were using it), maybe it's an XKB
configuration issue, but in any case, Shift-Backspace killing the
server is in no way the way things should or are supposed to work.

So, the correct tactic is to yell at whoever is responsible for
your X server's configuration :-)
