Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev

Once there was a known bug on xorg-input-evdev causing the keybord arrow
keys to be mapped to wrong keysims, for instance top arrow to "print
screen", bottom arrow to "multi key", ecc.

This is documented in
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg_input_hotplugging#Using_the_evdev_driver_kills_my_arrow_keys.2C_printscreen_is_triggered_instead

In principle, that bug should have been fixed with xorg-input-evdev
2.1.0, hence ubuntu karmic should be free from it.

Unfortunately this is not (completely) the case.  When my machine is
hibernated and restarted from hibernation, I frequently have my arrow
keys mismapped.
