Disable keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+F11 (Gnome?)

Question

Consider FILE to be very old and don't remake it.I'm a Ubuntu noob. Appreciate you time.

I came across this situation where pressing Ctrl+Alt+F11 brings up a blank screen with a flashing cursor.

I can't see where to disable that key combination. Any help? From the link above it seems to be a Gnome thing.

This doesn't answer your question, but to go back to your graphical session, keep pressing Alt+left for a while. — Jorge Suárez de Lis, May 01 '13 at 09:44

This requires some manual X11 server configuration. Look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf; if it doesn't exist, you'll need to create it (type Ctrl+Alt+T to open a Terminal and run sudo -H gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf on it) with the following contents:

Section "ServerFlags"
  Option "DontVTSwitch" "on"
EndSection

If it does exist, look for a Section "ServerFlags" and add the Option line above to it; if there isn't one, append the above lines to the file.
