Bug Description

Description: Ubuntu precise (development branch)
Release: 12.04

Linux 3.2.0-17-generic #27-Ubuntu SMP Fri Feb 24 15:37:36 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

What you expected to happen:
When the built in media key is hit the keyboard lights should cycle through the available colours.

What happened instead
A restart of X.
Could be a crash or "Ctrl-Alt-Backspace" key combination forcing a restart of X.

Note: I hit this key in error, its just below the key for changing the volume level so easy to do.

Note:
Just done a dist upgrade to 12.04 beta 1 from 11.10.
NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (post-release update (version current-updates)

No idea which package would be causing this.

Just re tested and looks to have been fixed.

Correction: No longer causes "forces a restart of X on 12.04 precise" but you end up doing a control alt back space yourself as the gui stops responding correctly.

Will add log as requested.

After login (after having to kill x) I get this in my browser:

What are the privacy implications of allowing this?

This is my home PC not a test box.

Is there another way I can provide specific logs without running apport-collect?

Cheers.
