As another "sufferer" of this problem I thought I would give this a try
- I get ...

     XFilterEvent returns: False

And "grep VT /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB" returns :

XF86_Switch_VT_2        :1008FE02
XF86_Switch_VT_3        :1008FE03

XF86_Switch_VT_7        :1008FE07
XF86_Switch_VT_8        :1008FE08
XF86_Switch_VT_9        :1008FE09
XF86_Switch_VT_10       :1008FE0A
XF86_Switch_VT_11       :1008FE0B
XF86_Switch_VT_12       :1008FE0C

Does this tell anyone anything?
