Hi, This bug is a xlibs bug, it has been reported several times and will be fixed soon. Here it is a fix from xfree's maintainer: "A fix for this problem is available. It comes in the form of a diff to /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/pc. To apply this fix: 1) Retrieve the patch from <URL: http://redwald.deadbeast.net/tmp/alt_tab_fix.diff > or the attachment to this mail. 2) Save the patch someplace. I recommend /tmp. 3) Become root. 4) cd / 5) patch -p0 < /tmp/alt_tab_fix.diff 6) Go back to being a mere mortal user. 7) Restart your X session. Advanced users may simply reload their keymap using setxkbmap(1x) with the proper arguments." Cheers, Sebastien Bacher
