Bug#626689: Also hit by the same bug on Debian Squeeze

[Fred <fboiteux@free.fr>]

	Hi,

  i'm hit by a similar bug, trying to use the Awesome window manager within a Gnome 2 session : some keyboard shortcuts (using Mod4 = Super_L) were inoperant : I finally found that my XKB setup was causing the problem : I had :

xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(azerty)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+fr(bepo)+fr(oss):2+us:3+inet(evdev)+group(shifts_toggle)+ctrl(nocaps)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "thinkpad(intl)"	};
};

And the shortcuts Mod4+M, Mod4+F, Mod4+Ctrl+X, Mod4+J didn't reach the window manager. To be able to get them, I had to remove the 2 other layouts (configured in :2 and :3 in XKB config) :

xkb_keymap {
	xkb_keycodes  { include "evdev+aliases(azerty)"	};
	xkb_types     { include "complete"	};
	xkb_compat    { include "complete"	};
	xkb_symbols   { include "pc+fr(bepo)+inet(evdev)+group(shifts_toggle)+ctrl(nocaps)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)"	};
	xkb_geometry  { include "thinkpad(intl)"	};
};

$ dpkg -l |grep xkb
ii  libxkbfile1                          1:1.0.6-2                            X11 keyboard file manipulation library
ii  x11-xkb-utils                        7.5+5                                X11 XKB utilities
ii  xkb-data				 1.8-2.1bepo.1.0.1                    X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configuration data


  I'm still looking for a solution to get back other layouts ...

	Fred.
