[arch-general] Does anyone find Compiz Fuscion eat up all Alt keys?

[yueyu lin]

Ok. There are some new updates.
It should be related with hardware.
Now I try to enable CF in another laptop- Dell Inspiron 9300. Everything
works well.
The problem only occurs in my new laptop - Lenovo T61p.
I'll investigate more to find out what's happening in the Thinkpad.
