It doesn't at all; the only way to get Terminate_Server in a relatively
recent build is through XKB (unless you go through severe contortions),
and with a branch that's about to be merged this week, there is
literally no other possible codepath.

Anyway, I'm not sure since I don't have 1.1.1 source around, but I'd
imagine that was guarded behind 'if (noXkbExtension)' somehow? If so,
that code will not be executed unless you run with '-kb'.

Cheers,
Daniel
