I think it was around march. I had problems with the linux xserver which
was not able to switch to other VTs

I must take a deeper look where the Terminate_server...

in xkb/xkbActions.c they handle XkbSA_Terminate and call XkbDDXTerminateServer
from xkb/ddxKillSrv.c. There is already a hook for the xf86 xserver prepared:

{
#ifdef XF86DDXACTIONS
    xf86ProcessActionEvent(ACTION_TERMINATE, NULL);
#else
    GiveUp(1);
#endif
    return 0;
}

So we could do

{
#ifdef XF86DDXACTIONS
    xf86ProcessActionEvent(ACTION_TERMINATE, NULL);
#else
#ifdef XWINDDXACTIONS
    winTerminateQuery();
#else
    GiveUp(1);
#endif
#endif
    return 0;
}
