It's because those nice and user-friendly DE have it disabled by
default (IIRC). I always have to go search for where they've hidden
that option this time, when I try another one or a new version.

I mostly use KDE, never Gnome, little other. That said,
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf always works for me:

	Section "InputClass"
	        Identifier "system-keyboard"
	        Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp"
	EndSection

I think /etc/default/keyboard is a good place too:

XKBOPTIONS=terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,plus,some,other,settings
