Windows placement and keyboard shortcuts problem

[Tiago Lam]

Hi,

when i logged in today in my fedora 17 x86_64 installation (uname -r:
3.7.6-102.fc17.x86_64), i noticed two abnormal things:

1. My keyboard shortcuts weren't working anymore. For example, my
<CTRL><ALT><L> that supposedly would lock the screen, didn't do anything
at all, and my <CTRL><ALT><DEL> that would give me, supposedly, the log
out screen, didn't do anything either.

2. The windows wouldn't be placed in the right place when started. In
other words, they wouldn't comply with my option "By default, place
windows: at the center of the screen" in settings>settings
manager>window manager tweaks>placement. In the same window, i also have
the cursor pushed all the way to Large in the "minimum size of windows
to trigger smart placement" option.

Now, since i am almost sure that yesterday none of this was happening, i
did the following:

$rpm -qa --last | more
ModemManager-0.6.0.0-3.fc17                   Mon 18 Feb 2013 11:16:52

xkeyboard-config-2.5.1-4.fc17                 Mon 18 Feb 2013 11:16:49
xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-1.6.3-1.fc17           Mon 18 Feb 2013 11:16:47
mtdev-1.1.3-1.fc17                            Mon 18 Feb 2013 11:16:45

Regarding the shortcuts (point 1), can i say that the xkeyboard-config
is the culprit? Or is my assumption completely wrong? (With xev i was
able to confirm that the keys are being correctly interpreted)

Regarding point 2, after playing around, i saw that if i go to
settings>settings manager>window manager tweaks>placement and push the
cursor all the way to "Small" and then again all the way to "Large", the
windows wouldn't start where i want them again, which is at the center
of the screen.

Is someone else seeing the same thing? Should i fill a bug? If so,
against what?

Thanks for any input.
