That depends entirely on which window manager you use.

Let's say you run CDE, then you use dtwm as your window manager. In
that case you should copy /usr/dt/config/$LANG/sys.dtwmrc to
/etc/dt/config/$LANG/sys.dtwmrc while commenting out the row

AltTab root|icon|window f.next_key

Read the manual page for dtwm for details.

If you're actually referring to Ctrl-Alt-Backspace,
which kills the X server (presumably, one doesn't want
users to do that either, if the system's on a kiosk!),
the "DontZap" option should do. There's also a "DontZoom"
which disables Ctrl-Alt-+ and Ctrl-Alt--.

'man XF86Config-4' for details on these and other options.

Not quite what you want, admittedly -- but I think ALT+TAB
is primarily handled by the window manager. Which window manager
are you using?
