Package: xfce4
Version: 4.4.1
Severity: important
When I start xfce using the `startxfce4` script, the desktop starts up, and
none of the shortcuts (window manager or keyboard shortcuts) work at all. If I
start the Settings Manager, this behavior does not change. After clicking on
"Keyboard," however, the keyboard shortcuts will become available. However, at
this point, they act as if <Alt> were constantly in effect -- if I hit <F2>
with the default keyboard shortcuts, the application launcher will start. This
also happens if I hit <Alt>+<F2>.
Something similar happens with window manager shortcuts. They do not become
available until I enter the "Window Manager" preference panel, switch to the
"Keyboard" tab, and then switch shortcut "themes". After that, they again
react as if <Alt> were constantly in effect.
At this point, running `xev` reports that everything seems to be working as
expected -- hitting "e" causes a KeyPress and KeyRelease with state 0x0, and
hitting <Alt-L>+e causes an Alt-L KeyPress with state 0x0, an "e" KeyPress with
state 0x8, an "e" KeyRelease with state 0x8, and last, an Alt-L KeyRelease with
state 0x0. Hitting "e" thereafter confirms that the modifer state is back to
0x0 after the Alt-L KeyRelease.
If I hit one of the enabled keyboard shortcuts, `xev` reports a FocusOut event,
followed (when the new window closes) by a FocusIn event (The window manager is
configured to give new windows focus automatically; this is the default
setting). That `xev` doesn't report any KeyPress or KeyRelease events suggests
that the keypress is being stolen higher up.
Oddly enough, if I restart xfwm4 (without restarting the X server), then the wm
shortcuts start working properly; if I restart xfce-mcs-manager, the keyboard
shortcuts start working properly as well.
At this point, everything works normally -- I can switch keyboard and wm
shortcut themes and they behave as if the Alt key is in its proper state, be
that pressed or unpressed. (Specifically, after they are restarted once, the
odd Alt behavior does not recur if I switch shortcut themes)
If I restart X, this behavior returns to the first state (none of the shortcuts
working), at which point I can again enable them by entering the proper
settings panels.
Needless to say, this makes using my desktop incredibly frustrating.
Especially since I'm still in the setup phase of this system, and will be
restarting fairly frequently.
