Package: compiz
Version: 0.8.2-6
Severity: normal
When I am using compiz, the Alt key does not work, except for GNOME
keyboard shortcuts. Alt-Tab does not work and neither do any of the
compiz plugin shortcuts. Shortcuts that do not require the use of Alt
work just fine, however. Ctrl-Alt-Backspace does not work[0], and
neither does Ctrl-Alt-F1 (and similar sequences) to switch VTs. All of
these function correctly when I use metacity instead. They also
function correctly for another user that uses metacity.
I have tried xev, and it correctly reports the KeyPress and KeyRelease
events for Alt. Also, if I am in GNOME Terminal, pressing an Alt key
combination sends an escape sequence to the terminal, but otherwise does
nothing.
However, GNOME keyboard shortcuts work properly: pressing Ctrl-Alt-L to
lock the screen works, and so does Ctrl-Alt-Del to bring up the shutdown
prompt.
[0] DontZap is set to off in xorg.conf, and terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp is
enabled, so this should work correctly.
