[M Harris <124406@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm seeing this on lucid on one desktop machine and one Dell Inspiron -
particularly frustrating as my job entails staying connected at work
during office hours. I do not, ever, use or touch the windows key.

Some or all of the following behaviour might be coincidence, but it
might contain useful information, or be worth a try for other users.
Probably not a good idea for me to try and investigate it now, as it's
already stopped me working once today.

Quite often I will be typing quickly and will lock the desktop before I
realise it's happened. Restarting X precipitously is hugely undesirable
for my work.

My current workaround is to ctrl-alt F$whatever and try to login, but
unfortunately that breaks sporadically too and I end up typing
^[l^[o^[g^[i^[n and presumably ^[p^[a^[s^[s^[w^[o^[r^[d.

If I'm able to log in before I run out of ttys, the problem tends to go
away for a while.

Plugging in a USB keyboard has no effect on the problem.
