[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#372082: xfwm4: many (most?) keybindings broken

Package: xfwm4
Version: 4.3.90.1-1
Severity: serious
Justification: usability of package

Ctl+Alt+arrow_keys doesn't cycle through workspaces
KP_Del (not Alt_Del) deletes workspace
KP_Ins (not alt_Ins) adds workspace
(and so on)
and to me, the most serious breakage is from
Tab (not Alt_Tab) brings up a cycle windows window
which won't let me choose any window.  For instance, while
working in a terminal window, using Tab for tab completion
completely destroys usability of system, requireing a
restart of X, since, although the cycle windows window 
comes up, I am unable to get anything else to happen.  Repeated
tabs cycles through the choices, but none can be chosen.  Tab is
the only key that does anything, and this is only to move the
choice of windows through the chooser dialog box.  X can be
restarted with Ctl+Alt+Backspace.  

In my use of the X window system I find Tab to be a key that I use
often in many applications.  It is very annoying (to the point of
making many apps unusable) to have the system rendered useless by
the use of this key, and to necessitate a restart of X because of
the use of this habitually used key.
