[Bug 438557] [NEW] ALT-Fx, ALT-left, ALT-right switch VT

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

When in an X session, pressing ALT-F1 to ALT-F6 or ALT-left/right
switches the user to the corresponding VT.

This happens after the keydown-event is sent to the active X VT. The
keyup-event is sent to the X application when the user switches back to
the X VT.

This results in, for example, when gnome-terminal is configured on
ALT-F3, continuously opening terminal windows until the user switches
back to the X VT.
