>From C-h i (emacs)Expressions:

    On some machines, `C-M-<DEL>' typed on the console is a command to
    reboot; when that is so, you cannot use it as an Emacs command.  This
    conflict is rare, though: usually the <DEL> key for Emacs is really
    <BACKSPACE>, and the reboot command is `C-M-<DELETE>', so there is no
    conflict.

One definitely should add a sentence there warning about the danger of
killing the X server under X.  C-M-<backspace> itself gives no
warning.

Sincerely,

Luc.
