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.
