I've started a normal X server (with the fvwm2 window manager), and
from a remote machine, I did a ssh, then "xev -display :0.0". When I
type Ctrl-Meta-F2 to switch to the virtual terminal 2, xev outputs:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:

Then I can do various things in the virtual terminal (xev outputs
nothing, as expected). After a "chvt 7", xev outputs:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
VisibilityNotify event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,

So, the KeyRelease events are sent *after* returning to the X server.
This seems to be the problem. Can you reproduce it if you do the same
things I did?
