Ctrl+Alt+Backspace was disabled in 9.04 version. You can manually enable it by editing your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file:

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and insert the lines of texts below on the last part of the file:

Section “ServerFlags”
Option “DontZap” “false”
EndSection

Save and Close the file.

While on the terminal, restart X-server:

sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart

Ian
