It seems like X didn't switch the keyboard to raw mode or something like this... The win key on linux console swithes to a previou vt (don't know if it is intentional, or just a side effect of the kernel not correctly handling it) Sometimes, when an app freezes the whole X (usually when it grabs the keyboard and freezes) I have to use the magic sysrq keys to "unraw" the keyboard, which means I can that use alt-fX to swtich to text VTs, kill the app and return to X... however from that moment on until I restart X, the keyboard is not in raw mode and alt-fX and also the winkey switch consoles (like you describe) yoyo
