Shift+Backspace shuts down X
I'm running ~amd64 with XFCE desktop. For some reason Shift+Backspace shuts down X, very ungracefully. My fingers stumble across this combination a couple of times every day, every time I lose something I've been working on.
In case somebody knows how to disable this "feature" I'd appreciate your input.
