    Strange. SOA#1 -> I have debian/unstable, X 4.3, wmaker and gnome (I'm
    changing from wmaker to gnome). And shortcuts works OK. So probably you
    have something misconfigured. BTW, before X upgrade it has worked? Maybe
    your keyboard is misconfigured and Alt is represented by another key?
    There are 2 Ctrls and 2 Alt keys, try combinations (for example, right Alt
    may be configured as diactrics (have I spelled it correctly?) switch and
    cannot be used to Ctrl-Alt-anything.

    cheers,
