Description Alex Merry 2010-01-04 12:09:49 UTC

Version:           SVN r1069406 (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.4.2 20091208 (prerelease) 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

When logging in to a KDE desktop session, KWin does not respond to any keyboard shortcuts, such as Alt+Tab or Alt+F4.

Restarting KWin (`kquitapp kwin; sleep 1; kwin`) causes keyboard shortcuts to work again.

Note: this appears to be distinct from bug 163504, since it happens from log in and mouse actions (such as right-clicking on the title bar) are unaffected.

Pressing a KWin shortcut results in the following output in .xsession-errors:

kglobalaccel(5088) KGlobalAccelImpl::x11Event: Got XKeyPress event
kglobalaccel(5088) GlobalShortcutsRegistry::keyPressed: "Alt+F4" = "Window Close"
knotify(5091) KNotify::event: 350  ref= 0
