So by total coincidence I reproduced exactly this behavior (*) (while not 
trying to do so) on system running 2.6.24-rc3, with PS/2 keyboard. 

Andi, are you absolutely sure that this appeared between .29 and .30 for 
you?

And if so, is there any chance you could try bisecting it?

(*) have been on virtual desktop where firefox was running, switched to 
console using Ctrl-Alt-F1, and switched back to X using F7. Firefox then 
popped up some dialog about configuring some feature that is triggered by 
pressing F7/AltF7, or whatever. Is that what you are seeing?
