[...] I have found the problem: it is the GNOME Keyboard Applet. If I log in without this applet in the panel, then Ctrl-Alt-F1 works. As soon as I add the applet, the key combination stops working. Even after I remove the applet from the panel, the key combination still does not work. I have to log out of GNOME and log in again to fix the problem. GNOME's keyboard applet attempts to capture a user-specified key combination in order to change the keyboard layout when the combination is used. So I will avoid using gkb for now and file a bug report on the GNOME site.
