Bug#369202: Could this bug be moved to X.org?
The point is that the xev example showed that it has nothing to do with
konqueror and when reassigned to X.org it might get more of the required
audience. In particular I have hope that someone who knows the input
subsystem will be able to tell me how to debug that so that I can at least
say whether the misbehaviour comes from random input events generated by the
kernel (Linux 2.6.26 here, FWIW) or from the X server.
Further, an update on the issue: It's annoying as hell. Well, that isn't
actually news, but I'm getting pestered by this over and over again, because
I'm currently using xine to listen to music and the high load seems to
trigger a random shift or control press around once every ten seconds or so.
Also, ignore what I said about not being able to reproduce this thing when
re-plugging the keyboard. I can see this bug even when I have nothing
attached at all but just leave xine running in the background.
Further, I can say that the problem is probably not in Xlib either, because I
can see the phenomenon using a program using XCB instead. This program
doesn't do anything spectacular that xev doesn't do but if you want I can
post it here.
