Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.4+4

When Im in text console, using Alt-F7 to return to X passes the F7 key
to the window which has current focus.  Ive found numerous reports of
this bug in other places via google, but no solutions or possible
remedies to fix it.

When watching the flow with xev,  when I press Ctl and Alt the
KeyPressed event is sent, then a KeyRelease is generated for both keys,
just before the console switch occurs.  When I press Alt-F7 to return,
xev shows the F7 key appearing as a KeyPresed/KeyRelease'd event.

Is there any way to prevent this key from reaching the X server?  This
bug has been reported in SuSE at the following URL..

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=141443

This page indicates that the bug has been resolved, but there appears to
be no actual details of a resolution.

This bug seems difficult to reproduce, as it doesnt occur on a fresh
debian install, however my system was installed about 3 years ago and
kept up-to-date ever since.  I have updated all packages current as of
23/8/09, and the bug is still present.

Im happy to provide any logs or other detailed debugging info to help
resolve this issue, however Im somewhat over my head when it comes to
debugging the X system.
