Alt-F7 fails

This may be a FAQ; if so, apologies.

On my Sid, I can go to the console from X by means of, e.g.,
Control-Alt-F2. This has been the behaviour of X for ages.

Also for ages, you could go back to X by pressing Alt-F7. However,
in Sid nowadays, this does not work. Pressing Alt-F7 simply kills
X, and all programs running in it. You stay in the console, and
have to restart X by means of startx.

A bug, obviously. But in which package? Has it been reported to
the Debian BTS? I couldn't find it.

Regards, Jan
