Switching from graphic terminal to vterm and back.
Hello! When I switch from grapic terminal (vterm7) to one of the other vterms and back to vterm7 again, it appears as if some wired keystrokes were done. For example, when a Konsole had the focus before switching, the focus goes to Konsole's menu bar as if the ALT key were pressed. When emacs was active at the time of switching, emacs activates the *Buffer List* buffer. This is only with suse-10.0. I have never seen such a behavior in any suse versions I had before. Any ideas what might be screwed up here?

Thanks for the hint! This precisely describes what happens to me. I don't agree with what Stefan Dirsch writes in his first comment. The F7 key should not be issued at all, no matter how long one holds down the keys. With emacs, it is especially annoying, since you loose the buffer arrangement when you switch. AFAICS, there's no solution known yet? So the question is: what can we do to find out what the reason is for this behaviour? While I have unix/linux experience for quite a long time, I'm pretty much a novice when it comes to X and/or KDE. So I'd appreciate a little guidance in tracking down the problem. I have noticed that the problem is triggered less often if _both_ keys (the ALT key _and_ the F7 key) are released _extremely_ fast.
