I haven't seen the icon weirdness, but the CTRL-ARROW (which is how I have it bound) behaves exactly as you describe; again, only after "a while." It seems more likely to happen if I've been using acroread. To make it work right again I don't have to log out, just get out of X and "startx" again. I assumed this was because I'm running ancient software - fvwm-1.24r under 3.1R - but evidently it's still a problem.
