Is there a way to prevent ctrl-alt-del from killing X?

i tried a lot of variations but have been somewhat unlucky since i havent got it working.

i changed the etc/initab but that hasent got anything to do with x,

i need this for my clients that use rdekstop or ica and whenever they feel like something is wrong they hit ctrl-alt-del like they usually do, and that kills their session.

thanks

Im going to give you guys some more info regarding this.
im using Fluxbox to start X, then before it loads completely i state that "rdesktop some.server" should be launched and looped until 6=9.

therefore when some user hits ctrlaltdel or ctrlaltbs it kills both the rdesktop session and Fluxbox.

i removed the etc/inittab and added the DontZap option in XF86Config, this however doesent help in any way.

plsplspl i need help

take apart the keyboard and cut using a blade through the piece of board that connects to the alt key (just through the surface, don't cut it right away). glue keyboard back together and pray nobody needs the alt key for anything else.

welcome to the forums

Code Sample

Thanks guys, the keyboard dismantling thingie as of yet seems the more resonable solution, as i earlier said i removed the ca::ctrlaltdel:/etc/init 0 , and that is in no way responsible for X getting killed, however ctrl-alt-del isnt as widely used for killing x as ctrl-alt-backspace is (maybe for fluxbox i dont know), and that is what im trying to prevent.

every debian/whatever forum i have been in state that adding the line

Code Sample

Section "ServerFlags"
DontZap
EndSection

in XF86Config would prevent this but it doesent seem to help a whole lot..

so i remain sad
