Strange as it may seem: I restored nomodeset back into the boot params 
in grub.conf.
Now, Crl-Alt-F[2345...] work as before.
Also, earlier, an OP had suggested I remove the nomodeset, because I was 
experiencing
great delays in workspace switching. Well, removing nomodeset did fix 
that problem
but introduced the problem with Ctrl-AltF[123456...]  functionality.
This time around, re-introducing nomodeset fixed (or restored) 3 
functionalities
I wanted:
1. I can see all the boot activity all the way to when gnome starts.
2. Ctrl-Alt-F... works
3. Workspace switch is now snappy again.

I think this sort of ill explained bhavior of the desktop tells me that
no one really know what's causing what, and why (i.e. no details).
