Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
Since upgrading from karmic to jaunty, my Ctrl-F1 to Ctrl-F5 keyboards that are
defined for switching workspaces aren't working consistently
I have checked that they are still defined in the Keyboard Shortcuts window,
and tried redefining them.
It seems that applications are now receiving the events sometimes.
Symptoms are:
* In Firefox, Ctrl-F4 initially closes a tab, then switches to workspace four.
Other keypresses behave similarly - the initial Ctrl sequence seems to be sent
to the application
* In gnome-terminal, if I have been typing in the terminal, pressing Ctrl-F2
through Ctrl-F5 the first time yields character sequences like;5Q;5R;5S.
Repeating the keypress while Ctrl is held down (or pressing a different
Ctrl-Fn) actually switches workspace. When I first hold down Ctrl, the cursor
changes from solid rectangle to an outline. Pressing any key (e.g. Alt, Shift,
F1, etc) changes it back to a solid rectangle. Since Ctrl-Alt doesn't do
anything, the easiest way to avoid the problem is to hold down Ctrl, press Alt,
release Alt, then press Fn whilst still holding down Ctrl
I am using Compiz as the window manager, and I have the Gnome
Compatibility and Commands plugins enabled
I am using SCIM and it is configured with Ctrl-Space as the trigger and
Ctrl-Shift switches to the next language
