Description of Problem:
Hi.

I use debian unstable:
ii  gnome-applets  2.1.3-1        Various applets for GNOME 2 panel

I set the keyboard shortcut to "a" (for testing if the applet still
crashes
on setting any shortcut) but it WORKED!

So I set another shortcut - the one I really wanted to use ( windoof + l
).

This worked too.

But then I went to a xterm window, where I wanted to restart samba and
the 
"a" was catched by someone - so that it did NOT appear in the
terminal!!!
(but nothing else happened - only the window of the xterm was inactive
for a short time!!!
And though all other chars worked fine it should be the gkb-switcher
which did something wrong.

I then logged off and logged in again and after this the "a" was
released!

And this error is REPRODUCEABLE!!!

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. see above
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:


Expected Results:


How often does this happen?

the same happens here, i mapped the shortcut to alt-leftshift, and
then alt was always catched by gkb, any other shortcuts with alt (in
sawfish, xchat2) didn't work anymore
