Could it result from a bad interaction with how Kwin or whatever-it-is
maps the keys ? I remember having the same problem with XFCE, when
calling xbindkeys from a .xsession file, with the additional constraint
that I had two keyboards with different mappings: there was only one
keyboard working. Since then I use built-in facilities of desktop
environments to define shortcuts.

So I'd say it's a xbindkeys issue. Do you experience problems when
only using standard modifiers in Xbindkeys (like ctrl/shift?).
