Hm, quite strange.
The options do work, but are superseeded by the device independent
layers.
Now there are two different places where these keys are handled.
In the xwin-specific code where we filter the keypress and terminate
xwin if unixkill is set and inside the dix layer which now handles
ctrl-alt-backspace internally (without displaying the dialogbox).
you can temporarily disable it with
xmodmap "keycode 22 = BackSpace"
and enable it with
xmodmap "keycode 22 = BackSpace Terminate_Server"
