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!
