It probably has the same problem gtk had a while ago, it selects for some xkb events, without making sure to unselect all the others:
Not going to happen for FC6, will be done upstream.
There's a lot of gdk_window_add_filter users in g-s-d. $ grep -r gdk_window_add_filter *.c | wc -l 9 What needs to be done exactly to solve this problem?
We'd need to use XkbSelectEvents, but there's only one "filter" per process, so we'd need to split out (or merge) the different bits of g-s-d that require key press filtering (and there's quite a few): $ grep gdk_window_add_filter *.c gnome-settings-accessibility-keyboard.c: gdk_window_add_filter (NULL, cb_xkb_event_filter, NULL); gnome-settings-clipboard.c: gdk_window_add_filter (gdkwin, clipboard_manager_event_filter, NULL); gnome-settings-daemon.c: gdk_window_add_filter ( gnome-settings-keybindings.c: gdk_window_add_filter (gdk_screen_get_root_window (screen), gnome-settings-keyboard.c: gdk_window_add_filter (NULL, gnome-settings-keyboard-xkb.c: gdk_window_add_filter (NULL, (GdkFilterFunc) gnome-settings-mouse.c: gdk_window_add_filter (gdk_screen_get_root_window (screen), gnome-settings-multimedia-keys.c: gdk_window_add_filter (gdk_screen_get_root_window (l->data),
IMHO "merging" would look more logical. We just need some ... internal "micro API" for dealing with these multiple filters. Unfortunately XkbSelectEvents/XkbSelectEventDetails do not have "get current mask" functions so g-s-d would have to keep track of these masks itself...
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was first requested. As a result we are closing it. If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora version please feel free to reopen it against that version. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Is this still a problem?? how can I verify that g-s-d is waking up with every key press? I don't really know how to do that.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
