Description of problem: When I press Alt-Fx (for x = 1...n), this is interpreted as if it were Ctrl-Alt-Fn. So, for example, Alt-F2 causes X to switch to VT number 2. On manually switching back (with Ctrl-Alt-F7), I find the KDE command-entry dialog (the expected result of Alt-F2) waiting for me. How reproducible: All the time. See also: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kbd/+bug/730307 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log into KDE as normal. 2. Press "Alt-F2". Expect to see the KDE-command-dialog. 3. Be startled, when it does a "chvt 2". 4. Press Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back to KDE. 5. See the expected command-dialog has appeared.
This is not a xserver bug. Either KDE or from xkbd

(In reply to comment #1) > This is not a xserver bug. Either KDE or from xkbd You're right. I couldn't possibly see how it could be a KDE bug because none of the KDE keyboard shortcuts include Ctr-Alt-Fx, and I had thought that Ctrl-Alt-Fx are trapped by the x-server, in the same way as Ctrl-Alt-Bksp. However, I can confirm that Gnome behaves correctly (i.e. Alt-F2 brings up the command-entry dialog without any chvt). Is there any other diagnostic I could run for you?

This has been fixed - it no longer affects the latest KDE packages (4.6.5). As the original reporter, I'm marking this as resolved - thanks for your time.

I hate to say this, but this is back again, in KDE 4.8.2

Could you open a new bug report against cauldron (& later mga2) ? This bug report is against mageia 1 (so kde 4.6.x not 4.8.x) (One more thing is that i'm not able to reproduce it.)

That's very strange: it's gone away again after reboot. I'm guessing that the cause might be some inconsistency created by doing urpmi --auto-update and not restarting the X-session. No need to re-open.
