I've been googling, and looking at the CentOS wiki - which, btw, when I do a full search on "control-alt-backspace", gives me three pages... in Japanese, I think.
How do I re-enable userspace restart X?

on the top panel, click SYSTEM / PREFERENCES/ HARDWARE / KEYBOARD from there, click the LAYOUT tab, then click the Options button. On my system, the eighth item from the top, on that screen, reads "Key sequence to kill the X server". Select that item, then check the resulting checkbox, click the Close button, and voila! you're done!

Is there any way I can configure it from a command line?

Not that I can find. I'd think there'd be something in one of the config editors, gconf or dconf or such, but I can't find anything there.

You used to be able to do it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but not sure if it still works.
Section "ServerFlags" Option "DontZap" "false" EndSection
I see stackexchange adds
ection "InputClass" Identifier "Keyboard Defaults" MatchIsKeyboard "yes" Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" EndSection
Also, at least with the more minimalist window managers (I usually use either Openbox or dwm) one can also use ctl+alt+F<whatever>, get to a console and do sudo pkill X.

And... I just found this on worldofgnome.org:
Using Xinitrc
Xinitrc is read by xinit and is been executed when we (desktops) start X.
Create a new file (if not exists):
gedit ~/.xinitrc
Add
setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
$ setxkbmap ... will set the changes on the fly.
Restart X to apply changes. Logout/Login.

Thanks folks, I'll give it a try today.
