Package: xlibs
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-5
Severity: normal
I'm using a pc105 (int) keyboard, with default settings for the
Windows and Alt keys. according to GNOME's keyboard tool. Here's what
it put in my .xsession file:
xkbset b r rate 500 33 perkeyrepeat

I normally use Super_L (or Super_R) with things to operate my window
manager. For example, I use Super_L and Up to toggle vertical
maximization of a window. Yesterday it worked, but today (after
installation of dfsg.1-5, presumably) it stopped. xev shows that the
two Windows keys are still producing what looks like the right things:
KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
root 0x8d, subw 0x0, time 1580740, (52,92), root:(53,135),
state 0x0, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes: ""
KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
root 0x8d, subw 0x0, time 1580857, (52,92), root:(53,135),
state 0x40, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes: ""
KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
root 0x8d, subw 0x0, time 1581155, (52,92), root:(53,135),
state 0x0, keycode 116 (keysym 0xffec, Super_R), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes: ""
KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x2c00001,
root 0x8d, subw 0x0, time 1581272, (52,92), root:(53,135),
state 0x40, keycode 116 (keysym 0xffec, Super_R), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes: ""
And with one held down, some keys still produce events, so I can get
Super_L and a, for example. But not Super_L and c---when I hold down
Super_L, pressing the c key produces no events. And similarly for the
cursor keys, and presumably others. (I chose c because I used to use
that combination to tell my window manager to close a window.)
I tried "dpkg --purge --force-depends xlibs", then removing almost
everything from /etc/X11/xkb and reinstalling xlibs. But that hasn't
made a difference, except that I now have many more files in
/etc/X11/xkb. For example, I don't think the README files were there
before I purged xlibs, which I don't understand. Anyway, reinstalling
didn't help me (although it seems possible that the README files might
well do).
