Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: compiz
On Ubuntu 9.10, Compiz 1:0.8.4-0ubuntu2.
Any keyboard shortcut using the (left) Alt key don't work.
For example Alt-Tab works in Metacity, and doesn't work in Compiz. However,
it's not like it isn't pressed : Alt-Tab doesn't act like Tab alone.
In CCSM, when defining the shortcuts, it correctly understands "Alt-Tab" and
sets it. I've checked all shortcuts in CCSM, there isn't any conflict.
It seems like the shortcut configuration apps correctly understand the
Alt key, but every other app treats it as another key.
when pressing the Alt key, xev returns :
--------------------------------------------------------
KeyPress event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,
root 0xfc, subw 0x0, time 970524, (138,147), root:(208,197),
state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
KeyRelease event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x4400001,

state 0x8, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES,

Feel free to suggest other tests or manipulations.
Thanks.
