Bug Description
Binary package hint: plymouth
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu maverick (development branch)
Release: 10.10
Using plymouth_
After Xserver started, plymouthd is still running. And keys like "Alt-F1", "Alt-Left", "Ctrl-Alt-Delete" are still handled by plymouth.
So, "Alt-F1" from X directs me to tty1. "Ctrl-Alt-Delete" restarts computer.
If I stop plymouth manually and restart xserver, everything goes ok

Just today noticed, that there's no need to stop plymouth service.
I can restart X-server using Alt-E after having kdm (using kubuntu) loaded, and after this everything goes as expected - Alt-F1 doesn't switch to the first terminal.
Maybe the problem is that X-server loads too early, earlier than some service.
