    Lost Alt and Meta keys function after upgrade to Kde 4.4 SC

    I seem to have lost the Alt and Meta keys functions after upgrading to Kde 4.4. CTRL key works fine. That is, pressing any alt- or meta- combination no longer has any effect. The problem affects Kde apps and the kde environment only, it seems. For instance Alt-backarrow works correctly in Firefox, but Alt-F1 fails to bring up the application launcher, etc.

    Does anyone know what panel and/or setting controls the behavior of the Alt and Meta keys?


    Thanks,

    S.

    What do you see when you run the command
    Code:
    xmodmap
    ?

    Btw, by default isn't the application launcher Alt+F2?
