What might cause this strange behaviour?
Lyx has focus, and decides to ignore keys that aren't bound to any action.
Not that strange. Of course it'd be nice if LyX did whatever other apps
do in order to pass these keys on to other apps (presumably
your colume control app.)
Some apps wants detailed control of the keyboard, in order to inspect shift
states and such, or in order to impose alternative keyboard layouts. I
guess the hotkeys gets mixed into this somehow.
This behavior is not universal. While Lyx 1.5.3 has focus, I can press Ctrl+9
to open UMENU, and it works perfectly. My window manager is IceWM, and within
IceWM's keys file I've defined Ctrl+9 to run UMENU.
So at least under my circumstances, LyX "does the right thing".
Silly me, I forgot to mention that I run Windows Vista.
