Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace
Ubuntu 9.04
kdebase-workspace 4:4.2.2-0ubuntu2
I have a Sun Type 7 keyboard.
I run: kcmshell4 keyboard_layout (or otherwise open kde's keyboard layout options)
I choose Sun Type 5/6 from the Keyboard model list
I hit apply
Now alt+tab brings up the window list, but meta+tab and meta+shift+tab rotate me through the list. Weird indeed! Also, meta+left click to drag windows, even though the window behaviour explicitly says alt+left click. Weirder!

It seems there are various issues with Sun Type 7 Keyboard, and I am not positive this is a KDE issue, but more so a Xorg issue. Seeing as you have gone with such a funky keyboard, I know they rock for writing code, I am taking it you have also probably researched the issues that are out there. Is there anyone around here with some experience on this keyboard and maybe work arounds if there are any? Thanks!
