I'm using a regular ps/2 azerty keyboard but with dvorak layout.  The
problem is the dvorak layout by itself works fine, but when I press (and
hold) ctrl the other buttons behave totally differently, some seem to be
qwerty again but sometimes it's even different.
I test this in urxvt and xterm, so no gtk or gnome is involved (not that
I know)
Examples: (xev output follows later)
* ctrl+c becomes ctrl+i (dvorak c is on qwerty i)
* ctrl+j on dvorak does not become ctrl+c (what it would be in qwerty).
* ctrl+a only produces a ctrl character.

I tried reproducing your problem a few days ago but failed. Please open a
bugreport and attach the output of xkbcomp -xkb :0 -. Don't think there'll be
anything interesting, but it might be a start.

* xev ctrl+j

at least this one doesn't look weird, the other two are different. Have you
tried starting a plain X server with nothing but xterm? Does this reproduce
the issue?
Cheers,

Peter, thank you so much.
I've spent way too much time searching in the wrong direction. When starting x with plain xterm/urxvt all was fine, so gradually I could build up my environment and check where it went wrong.
As it turned out the culprit is compiz:
compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints ccp <-breaks keys
compiz --replace --sm-disable --ignore-desktop-hints <- doesn't break keys

I'll now try to figure out why the 'core plugin' changes my keys (maybe it's me who configured something incorrectly)

Thanks,
Dieter
