Hi,
For the record, and hoping this can help someone, I actually found
how to avoid this problem (even if I didn't understood exactly the
problem) : Editing X11 keyboard settings (through Gnome's
gnome-keyboard-properties program), I found my problem disappears when
I remove an additional US mapping : I have a Xkb setup with 3 layouts,
fr(bepo), fr(oss) and us, and a setup to switch between these layouts
pressing the 2 shift keys together :
$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(azerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include
"pc+fr(bepo)+fr(oss):2+us:3+inet(evdev)+group(shifts_toggle)+ctrl(nocaps)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)"
};
xkb_geometry { include "thinkpad(intl)" }; };
When removing the « us:3 » additional layout, I get :
$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(azerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include
"pc+fr(bepo)+fr(oss):2+inet(evdev)+group(shifts_toggle)+ctrl(nocaps)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)"
};
xkb_geometry { include "thinkpad(intl)" }; };
And then, nice, all my missing keyboard shortcuts are back !!
If someone knows reason about this (and a way to add back the qwerty layout as
a third layout), please tell me !

No advice about that ?
Fred.
