Bug Description
Reporting to X-Server as I don't know where else this could be caused.
After upgrading to Karmic I now have the strange behavior that not only ALT-CTRL-F[1-8] switches to the text console from X-Server, but also ALT-F[1-8] does this switching. I don't know where this comes from, but it breaks lots of stuff, i.e. ALT-F4 to close an app, ALT-F2 to open the quick-start-applet, ...
Strange thing is that if I switch back to the X-Server from the text console with ALT-F7, the actual keyboard action is executed in the X-Server, i.e. if I press ALT-F4, the text console is shown, when I switch back, the current application is closed!
Every time I switch (either with ALT-CTRL-F[1-8] or with ALT-F[1-8]), the following is printed to the system log:

I saw that restarting fixes this for some time, but it reappears and it "survives" a hibernate/resume.
Logging in/out does not help.
Restarting kdm does help for a while until it reappears.
Cannot yet say for sure if hibernate/resume is related, but might be.
