My qualified Colleague Tzafrir Cohen helped me demystify the mystery.
It's that pesky lil gkb keyboard applet that was mishandeling some setkb options and somehow left the system without CTRL-ALT anything ...
To solve in an infected system try ..


propmt> setxkbmap -option "" -option grp:switch,grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll -rules xfree86 -model pc105 us,il
(exchange the settings to whatever model or keymaps you want ..)
At first we proved that the keyboard layout switcher was in fault by removing it and seeing that I can switch windows freely.
The I put it back - checked out the defaults in the properties tag and saw that it was using gkb_xmmap (coming from gnome-applets-2.4.1) to change by default and once we changed it to use setkbmap it started working fine.


Finally I have my hebrew support as well as multiple terminals and I can commence with my experiences with gnome.
I'm truely sorry for implying any consiparacy theory of gnome locking me in to a single VT solution.
Linux is becoming so friendly and Windows like that I was freightened that they simply crossed the line ..
