Two or three days ago, my alt key bindings began behaving weirdly and essentially have stopped working.
An example: I have Shift-Alt-Arrow keys mapped to virtual desktop navigation. From my configuration file: Key Left A MS Scroll -100 +0 Key Up A MS Scroll +0 -100 Key Right A MS Scroll +100 +0 Key Down A MS Scroll +0 +100 However, these key combinations have stopped working. If a terminal has the focus when I type them, I see [d (Shift-Alt-Left) [a (Shift-Alt-Up) [b (Shift-Alt-Down) [c (Shift-Alt-Right) Other Alt key mappings in my configuration file have also quit working and print similar weird character combinations in windows that have the focus. My configuration file hasn't changed recently (been using the same key mappings for about 15 years ;) ), nor has my version of FVWM changed. I'm running Ubuntu Lucid on a Toshiba desktop.
