Is there something that is happening to the keyboard mapping?  My
keyboards require a function key to be set to use the Function keys.  Is
this being reset when Mate starts?


showkey can be used to see if they are working.

On my keyboard, if the F lock button is not pushed, then the keys send
anything.


xkeycaps as well.
