Hello everyone,
I've had xorg 6.x configured to allow me to switch from US English keyboard to
US English with international support (for accented characters) as follows:

Section InputDevice
Identifier KeyboardThinkpadZ60M
Driver kbd
Option XkbRules xorg
Option XkbModel inspiron
Option XkbLayout us,us
Option XkbVariant ,intl
Option XKbOptions grp:alt_shift_toggle
EndSection

and in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/X0-config.keyboard (now under /usr/local/ )
Rules= xorg
Model= inspiron
Layout = us,us
Variant = ,intl
MouseKeysCurve = 0
I use XFCE4.4 as my environment, and both the 'Keyboard Layout Switcher'
applet
and the left alt-shift combos would allow me to switch between the 2 modes
flawlessly.
After the upgrade to xorg 7.2, using the same configuration, I noticed several
problems related to the keyboard behaviour, namely:
1) - neither method to change the keyboard layout works.
2) - Several shortcuts that involve the Alt (left) key work either : alt-tab
to
cycle through windows, ctrl-alt-arrows to move through desktops.
3) - When launching the application 'skippy' (x11-wm/skippy) or skippy-xd
(x11-wm/skippy-xd), i get :
$ skippy-xd
X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource
denied)
Major opcode of failed request: 33 (X_GrabKey)
Serial number of failed request: 75
Current serial number in output stream: 75
This never used to happen before (notice the X_GrabKey error).
I've noticed also that Ctrl-Alt-F1 (through to F6) doesn't change back to a
non-X terminal anymore...
it seems the alt key is not being processed at all
I tried a clean keyboard config (only 1 layout) and the problem with the
normal
XFCE shortcuts (problem #2) is solved...
I tried creating a separate keyboard using xorgcfg with the 'intl' layout, but
it didnt do what I wanted - problem #2 was still solved, but I couldnt switch
between layouts (which is rather obvious, as they were defined as different
keyboards...)
If anyone could shed some light on this, it'd be greatly appreciated :)
Thanks!

:(
do you have alternative layouts in your xkb / xorg config?
does alt work for other tasks, like Alt-Tab? (it does for me if I remove the
different keyboard layouts).
FWIW, i just remembered than when I just upgraded to xorg7.2, i had to
reconfigure xfce to allow me to drag windows using the alt key... it used to be
called 'alt' before, now it works when I set the option in xfce to Mod4
(which is interesting, because xbindkeys has always seen my left alt as mod4,
even before 7.2)
i'll have a play with this when i can...
