For some reasin, kwin is consuming all Ctrl B keystrokes preventing them from reaching any other apps.  It blocks it for non-KDE apps as well, like xterm and xemacs.

I tried changing the hotkey assignment for bookmarks from Ctrl B to Alt B and later tried disabling the bookmark accelerator all together, but it made no difference.

When running kwin with debugging enabled I see the following when I hit Ctrl B in any application:

 kdecore (KAccel): Workspace::keyPress( Ctrl+B ) 

I do not see this for other keystrokes that are not captured (i.e. Ctrl A, Ctrl F).
 
I have tried running twm instead of kwin.  When I do this Ctrl B works.  Obviously this isn't a solution, though.

After browsing all the kwin code I cannot see where the hook is being added for Ctrl B.  I also have been going through the kdelibs/kdecore files to see if anything there could explain the problem.

This was previously marked as bug 54046 (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54046).  I am reentering the bug here since it appears to be kwin related rather than kdelibs related.
