Public bug reported: Reporting to X-Server as I don't know where else this could be caused.
After upgrading to Karmic I now have the strange behavior that not only ALT-CTRL-F[1-8] switches to the text console from X-Server, but also ALT-F[1-8] does this switching. I don't know where this comes from, but it breaks lots of stuff, i.e. ALT-F4 to close an app, ALT-F2 to open the quick-start-applet, ... Strange thing is that if I switch back to the X-Server from the text console with ALT-F7, the actual keyboard action is executed in the X-Server, i.e. if I press ALT-F4, the text console is shown, when I switch back, the current application is closed! Every time I switch (either with ALT-CTRL-F[1-8] or with ALT-F[1-8]), the following is printed to the system log: Oct 29 21:59:51 dstathink acpid: client 1258[0:0] has disconnected Oct 29 21:59:51 dstathink acpid: client connected from 1258[0:0] Oct 29 21:59:51 dstathink anacron[2150]: Anacron 2.3 started on 2009-10-29 Oct 29 21:59:51 dstathink anacron[2150]: Normal exit (0 jobs run) Oct 29 21:59:51 dstathink kernel: [10749.984755] CPU0 attaching NULL sched-domain.
