tag 254973 + upstream fixed-upstream patch thanks This message is in regard to the bug reported in #254973, #255063, #255192, #255216, #255332, #255778, #256192, and probably several other duplicates that haven't been identified yet.
A fix for this problem is available. It comes in the form of a diff to /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/pc. To apply this fix: 1) Retrieve the patch from <URL: http://redwald.deadbeast.net/tmp/alt_tab_fix.diff > or the attachment to this mail. 2) Save the patch someplace. I recommend /tmp. 3) Become root. 4) cd / 5) patch -p0 < /tmp/alt_tab_fix.diff 6) Go back to being a mere mortal user. 7) Restart your X session. Advanced users may simply reload their keymap using setxkbmap(1x) with the proper arguments. This patch is from upstream CVS, but not license-encumbered (revision 1.10 of the file in question was made on 2003-08-22, which predates the relicensing by several months). (For simplicity, this patch also contains revision 1.9, an unrelated but harmless change. Yes, it really is harmless; I tried it.) I will be applying this fix to the SVN trunk before long; as the package release manager, it's Fabio's decision as to whether it makes it into -6 or not. Thanks to the patient for their patience. I apologize for the inconvenience. -- G.
