Screen locking programs on Xorg 1.11

Hi, I recently found out that it is possible to kill a screensaver/screen locker program on the latest version of Xorg (1.11 shipped with archlinux, debian wheezy..) using the Ctrl+Alt+Multiply key binding. This behavior seems to have been introduced in a recent commit[1] and i couldn't find a way to disable it. All screen locking programs i tested (gnome-screensaver, kscreenlocker, slock, slimlock...), are basically rendered useless. Not sure if this is a bug or a feature... :) [1]: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=7d2543a3cb3089241982ce4f8984fd723d5312a1
