depends. server 1.6 with xkeyboard-config 1.5, the option should enable it.
if you're using git master and xkeyboard-config 1.6, the trick is to set the
xkb option (the xorg.conf entry is not needed).

Either run 'setxkbmap -option "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"' or tick the
matching box in your desktop environment's documentation.
