Hi, this problem is discussed in #255286. I didn't look at openbox yet, but metacity has similar code than emacs21, i.e. it cannot work when it believes that several different keys are bound to the same modifier. So its reload_modmap function (in src/keybindings.c) should be fixed to ensure that num_lock_mask, scroll_lock_mask, meta_mask, hyper_mask and super_mask have no matching bits. This also applies to #231076, there is no reason to assume that different keys cannot return the same KeySym. Denis

Bug#272208: xserver-xfree86: Problem using Mod4 modifier in Metacity and Openbox
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7 Severity: normal Hi. I have problems configuring key combination Mod4+Tab in order to switch windows using Metacity and Openbox window managers. In Openbox it seems Mod4 key it isn't properly recognized when I release it; so, focus changes from one window to another, but I need to pulse other key to continue working. In Metacity, I directly can't configure Mod4+Tab, because when it tells me to press key combination, it is impossible get that working (there is no problem with other combinations like Alt+Tab). I don't know where is the problem, but supose it is an xserver error. Thanks for all.
