through

Package: capplets
Version: 1:2.6.1-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
This may be related to 242932, but I don't think it is.
Since my last update, I cannot type. After some searching with different
X setups and failsafe XTerm sessions, I figured out the following:
Usually, when you press a key, the window gets first a KeyPressEvent
followed by a KeyReleaseEvent. Now after I start
gnome-keyboard-properties (probably any other of the *-properties, as
they all start loading the whole configuration), not a single
KeyPressEvent gets through to the window. Instead, the focus seems to be
grabbed by some other window, only the KeyReleaseEvent gets through.
Normal mode (X & xterm &):
KeyPress event, serial 21, synthetic NO, window 0x800001,
root 0x38, subw 0x0, time 20378, (164,162), root:(220,179),
state 0x0, keycode 38 (keysym 0x61, a), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: "a"
KeyRelease event, serial 21, synthetic NO, window 0x800001,
root 0x38, subw 0x0, time 20482, (164,162), root:(220,179),
state 0x0, keycode 38 (keysym 0x61, a), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: "a"
Gnome Mode (X & xterm & gnome-keyboard-properties &):
FocusOut event, serial 21, synthetic NO, window 0x800001,
mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor
FocusOut event, serial 21, synthetic NO, window 0x800001,
mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyPointer
FocusIn event, serial 21, synthetic NO, window 0x800001,
mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor
KeymapNotify event, serial 21, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
keys: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
KeyRelease event, serial 21, synthetic NO, window 0x800001,
root 0x38, subw 0x0, time 50838, (92,82), root:(148,104),
state 0x0, keycode 56 (keysym 0x62, b), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: "b"
I have disabled Xkb support in the X config now, but the bug appeared
before I did that.
Bye,
Mike
