Something in your desktop has preempted events from that key, probably with the intention of using it as a "shortcut" or"launcher" key for some desktop activity. We've seen this with Gnome on SLES 10. It seems insane to be using a Shift key for this purpose so I suspect that the root cause is some bug in the desktop. It wouldn't be the first time we've seen the desktop make the incorrect assumption every X server in the world is being driven by a PC keyboard. There's probably some sort of control panel that will tell you what keys your desktop has tied to particular desktop activities. Look in there for some function that has been bound to the Left Shift key, and either remove that binding or rebind it to some more sensible key. If you do find that binding then it would be helpful to know what desktop you're using and what that binding was. On SLES 10 Gnome I think it was tied to some kind of "Desktop Search" function.
