Excellent <Ctrl><Alt><F1> followed by
<Ctrl><Alt><F7> gives me my
screen back. Nice. But still not really a solution :(
I tried removing my .emacs and .emacs.d but that made no difference.
At least I have a workaround now.
Pressing numlock approx. twice should work around it, too. And
disabling "Assistive Technologies" in the GNOME menu is an automatic
work-around.
