Subject: metacity: Alt-Tab brings up popup, but won't switch to other apps

Package: metacity
Version: 1:2.8.1-3
Severity: normal

I'm not sure whether or not this is a metaicty problem, but here goes:

I hadn't restarted X for a while, and recently did so. Now, when I
try to use Alt-Tab to cycle between apps, the little popup showing the
icons for various apps comes up, and I can cycle between the icons,
but even if I select an icon, it does not switch to that app, and the
popup stays up until I simply hit Alt by itself.

I also noticed something strange in the gnome control panel keyboard
settings applet. If I try to set a shortcut using Alt, it registers
the pressing of the Alt key immediately, and sets the shortcut to
Alt_L or Alt_R. The same happens with the windows & menu keys, but
not control or shift. I'm guessing this is related.
