Description Matej Mrenica 2018-06-08 12:49:30 UTC
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace should always be able to kill curently running session. When wayland session is running and  everything including cursor freezes, there is nothing that can be done.
Comment 1 David Edmundson 2018-06-08 12:57:49 UTC
If the cursor is frozen, the process that handles input (and the only process than can forward control+alt+backspace) is frozen. 
Not much we can do at a KDE level.

Could you create new process just to handle this 'session-killing'? Or some kind of freeze detection that would kill the session when it freezes?

Watchdog on kwin would be viable if/when we ever get that systemd user units port sorted.
