Comment 7 for bug 173517

marrious, hello,

thanks for your advice, actually it has the same effect as the temporary solution i mentioned above, but it was worth trying it.
are you using GNOME-desktop?
i heard that it is a GNOME issue, not KDE, but i cannot confirm this.
In the mean-time, i installed and configured Fluxbox for my live-video-performances, its a great, very light window-manager,, after login you count not even 1 second and your desktop is ONLINE!
It does not work with compiz but is lightning fast and no problems with second xscreen, of course. so for now i go like this:
-GNOME-environment for daily use and watch tv in same conditions like you described, FLUXBOX for serious stuff.
it is a pitty that nobody seems to care about keyboard access to second xscreen under GNOME/Compiz/Emerald... i cannot believe that you and me are the only nurds complaining about this!
bye
