Will do. Though I've had other random keyboard weirdnesses
in the past few months, so I think there's something
involving one of the various X keyboard modules or somesuch.
What probably happened is that during one of the
experimental upgrades while Breezy was moving toward
release, something got switched the wrong way. Since the
final Breezy release can't adjust for every problem anyone
may have encountered during the beta, they left it alone.
Something like that.

If you're saying that it *should* be possible to do such
locking, I agree with you. I thought your point was that
console switching should be locked by default.
