[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#605224: base: Unable to login into text terminal after gnome messes up with keyboard input

[michalxo]

Package: base
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Hello all!
 I am having a strange error like in Ubuntu I had. After gnome messes up
(randomly) standard keyboard behaviour this bug occurs.
 In gnome, it seems that ALT button is pressed (in my case Mod4) to move
windows, use shortcuts etc. To get normal behaviour of no "function key"
pressed, I have to go to (any of) tty1-7 and back to graphical tty. Then it
works everything in gnome, except unability to login into text tty causing ^[x
instead of x characters to show up.

I am not sure about which package it is.
