Hmm, we don't see this.

Do you have some odd custom theme?  What happens if you move any
keythemerc file from .themes ? (and send us a copy if you find one which
breaks it).

What happens if you run xfce-settings-show and look at the window
manager key settings?  Can you tell us what's there and try choosing the
default keytheme?

Are you running any other apps which might be grabbing keys?  Do you
have any errors in .xsession-errors?

Let us know.

Simon.
