When you have a kvm attached to your systems it does send some signals to the systems not selected. Now, that doesn't mean you shouldn't research and find a sw way around it....it just means that I've decided that the energy needed to do "ctrl-alt-bksp" is considerably less than finding a solution. :-) -- There are no threads in a.b.p.erotica, so there's no gain in using a threaded news reader.
