Description Olaf Hering 2006-11-16 10:48:36 UTC 
10.2b2+

gnome installation on mac.suse.de, all patterns selected.

alt+f2 to run a command works exactly once.
every further attempt does just open this computer menu. Oddly enough, the same happens if I press the Super_R key (which is mapped to the right Apple/Command key).

running xev does not help at all, there is only a Return key event, but I certainly never pressed return.
Something seems to grab keyevents before they reach the Xserver.
