Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config

To reproduce, log into a Karmic GNOME desktop with compiz turned on.

Open a terminal window, and use alt-tab.  A window switcher is
activated.

Go into the keyboard preferences applet, in the Layouts tab choose the
"Layout Options" button.  In "Alt/Win key behaviour", change it from
"Default" to "Alt is mapped to Right Win, Super to Menu".

Try alt-tab again.  No window switcher is activated.  Try alt+win+tab.
A window switcher is activated.  Try alt+F1.  No panel menu is
activated.  Try alt+win+F1.  The panel menu is activated.  Same for
switching desktops using the keyboard.

Now, restore that setting to "Default", and see that the keyboard
shortcuts work as expected.

If you had the "Alt is mapped to Right Win, Super to Menu" setting set
when you logged in, simply changing it is not enough to get alt-tab
behaviour back to normal; you need to log out and log back in after
returning the setting to "Default".

This appears to be a similar problem to the invalid bug 368661.
