[Sugar-devel] SL bug #1520

[Mukul Gupta]

Tomeu,

I had a word with Bernie regarding the issue and he says that probably newer
versions of the X server actually implement XUngrabKey() with keycode= Any
Key as specified in the man-page. He said he had seen the source code and
someone (whot) reworked that function sometime back, probably fixing up the
bug.

I tested sugar-emulator on Ubuntu Maverick and it seemed the keybindings
were working. I tried Alt+ Tab and it worked. It seems the component has
already been fixed.
