I have noticed that the control key gets stuck down, if you use alt-F7 to
switch back. This is fixable by typing an innocuous control sequence
(like ctrl-A), after which the X server notices the ctrl key up, and
returns to the normal state.
I have also seen some other, more bizarre X problems, the details of which
are on the debian-sparc archives (but they may be caused by the signal
handling problems we had in debian with glibc 2.1 and 2.0 kernels).
