you did not start a new thread, you captured on.
Don't click on reply and change subject/text, click on new mail!

I am using kmail. And you took over the thread. In the future, click on new
mail if you want to start a new thread.

Have you checked your xorg.conf and kdmrc?
You can turn it of in xorg.conf and maybe in kdmrc. Have you done etc-update?
Option "DontVTSwitch" "boolean"
This disallows the use of the Ctrl+Alt+Fn sequence (where Fn
refers to one of the numbered function keys). That sequence is
normally used to switch to another "virtual terminal" on operat-
ing systems that have this feature. When this option is
enabled, that key sequence has no special meaning and is passed
to clients. Default: off.
