Bug Description
Binary package hint: xorg
After coding a while with eclipse, gnome-theme changes (except windowborder) to the (ugly) default theme and AltGr key is reversed. opening the gnome-theme config gui sometimes change it back for a while (exept icons)
i use following Xmodmap:
keycode 108 = Mode_switch
keycode 38 = a A adiaeresis Adiaeresis
keycode 30 = u U udiaeresis Udiaeresis
keycode 32 = o O odiaeresis Odiaeresis
keycode 39 = s S ssharp
keycode 13 = 4 dollar EuroSign
keycode 12 = 3 0xa3 section
so writing a text is pain while this bug is present. (put something heavy on the altgr key from the notebook is not a permanent solution :D)
There are two uk-layout keyboards, one in my notebook a usb one.
notebook is connected to 23" tft through vga (internal disabled).
problem occured 3 or 4 times the last days (since i started to code with eclipse a lot), firefox,empathy and skype also running.
i don't had much time for debugging, but problems only occured when connected to external monitor(and keyboard/mouse).
i use ubuntu 10.10 since the beta version, with compiz, system is up to date.

Description of problem:
I've been using "keycode 135 = Mode_switch" in my ~/.xmodmap for years, to change my "menu" key into something useful.
Starting sometime fairly recently (not sure exactly; sorry) occasionally (no repeatable case, but happens regularly enough to be annoying), the mode_switch gets stuck in on, such that pressing the key and a letter gives its normal version rather than its mode_switch version. (It's as if the equivalent of caps-lock for mode_switch is on.)
There doesn't seem to be any cure but hitting mode_switch a bunch of times and other random typing -- eventually it goes off again.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Possibly xorg-x11- drv-evdev- 2.3.0-1. fc12.x86_ 64. I'm just blaming evdev because it's convenient -- could be a lot of things, I suppose.
