Found another couple of things: 1. Bug is unlikely to depend on kernel version: I tested it on kernel from 2.6.34 to 2.6.36 (from mainline kernel-ppa), and it is reproduced on any kernel. 2. There are situations when system boot process is different from the normal one (e.g. when I install some daemon and ureadahead is reprofiled during the next boot). Sometimes in such situations Alt+FX hotkeys work well instantly after the boot, no need to log in and log out. It makes me think, that there is something wrong in boot order - may be something starts or stops too early or too lately. So I've made two bootcharts. First one is made during the boot immediately after bootchart installation (this is the "good" boot, when everything works OK). And the second one is done after the next one boot (this is the "broken" one, when hotkeys are broken). I hope, it'll help somehow.
