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.

lakeview ok % setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)+altwin(alt_super_win)+ctrl(nocaps)+compose(lwin)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "thinkpad(60)"	};
};
