[arch-general] Xorg strange keyboard behaviour

Good morning,


since a few days I'm experiencing an unwanted behaviour in X: after some time, 
apparently when cycling keyboard layouts, the key just don't work as expected 
anymore.  For example pressing RALT will give return, the left arrow will be 
remapped to change group etc.  Terminating and restarting X will remove the 
problem; everything works fine on terminals.

The error is not reproducible but seems to be related to/caused by layout 
switching.  And I'm switching very often.  I'm using Openbox 3.4.7.2, Kxkb, 
Xorg 1.6.3.901-1.  On my second box where I use wmii with keybound scripts for 
layout switching the error didn't show up yet.  I'm appending xorg.conf, xkb 
configuration, and selected output of xev _after_ the error occured.  Feel 
free to request any logs.

Thanks for Your help!


Philipp
