Hi again, I found the trigger of the freeze. Xfce4-terminal always freezes when I press the "menu" key (between AltGr and the right Ctrl key) while the terminal has the input focus. There may be other affected programs, but I didn't find any yet.
I am using a german keyboard. While running xev in an xterm I get this when I press the offending key: | KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1800001, | root 0xb0, subw 0x0, time 283483239, (639,374), root:(640,400), | state 0x0, keycode 135 (keysym 0xff67, Menu), same_screen YES, | XLookupString gives 0 bytes: | XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: | XFilterEvent returns: False My /etc/default/keyboard contains: | XKBMODEL="pc105" | XKBLAYOUT="de" | XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys" | XKBOPTIONS="" | BACKSPACE="guess" Removing the nodeadkeys variant doesn't help. Additionally, my ~/.xsession (which I use to start my X session) contains the following to map Caps Lock to Left Ctrl: | xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock" \ | -e "keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L" \ | -e "add Control = Control_L" Please let me know if you need more information or if there are other things I should try.
