+.B XFree86's Magic Keystrokes
+The XFree86 X server traps certain magic keystrokes before client programs ever
+see them.  Two that are of note are Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, which causes 
+the X server to exit; and Ctrl+Alt+F\fIn\fP, which switches virtual consoles.
+The X server will respond to these keystrokes even if xscreensaver has the
+screen locked.  Depending on your setup, you might consider this a problem.
+
+Unfortunately, there is no way for xscreensaver itself to override the
+interpretation of these keys.  If you want to disable Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
+globally, you need to set the \fIDontZap\fP flag in 
+your \fI/etc/X11/XF86Config\fP file.  See the
+.BR XF86Config (5)
+manual for details.
+
+There is no way (as far as I can tell) to disable the VT-switching keystrokes.
+
+Some Linux systems come with a VT_LOCKSWITCH ioctl, that one could 
+theoretically use to prevent VT-switching while the screen is locked; 
+but unfortunately, this ioctl can only be used by root, which means
+that xscreensaver can't use it (since xscreensaver disavows its privileges
+shortly after startup, for security reasons.)
+
+Any suggestions for other solutions to this problem are welcome.
