We need more info here.
Just checked on my laptop running 3.4-current (and painfully
unconfigured -- your question sounded strange, and prompted me to
finish configuring X on it), CTRL-ALT-BackSpace works exactly as
expected when running X either from startx or xinit, quickly returning
me to a command prompt...
WAG based on no info: you did an upgrade and something got "left
behind" (i.e., improperly updated) from a previous install, perhaps
.profile scripts.
Nick.
