I had a similar problem on my laptop--the Ctrl-Alt simulates the Function
key, and Function-F1 was suspend (or something like that).  Are you on a
PC or a laptop?

If you F-keys also substitute for suspend, etc, try creating extra
terminals, and Ctrl-Alt-F[unused key, such as F5 on my laptop].

  Hope this helps,
 -Mike
