(?!) 3) rebuilt xorg then fluxbox-devel. removed .fluxbox to ensure that the default settings would load. 4) played with xorg.conf (used old xfree.conf, built a new xorg.conf, and changed various settings withing xorg.conf) 5) attempted to pinpoint the issue via xev, but failed miserably. it smells like some sort of 'focus' problem to me. any suggestions would be very much appreciated. hoping that i'm not alone here. thanks, epi p.s. a little additional info for any of you who know a bit about fluxbox settings. the problem seems only to occur with those keybindings (like alt+tab) which are mapped to 'NextWindow' or 'NextWindow 1' but _not_ with 'NextTab'. naturally, the same holds true for the shift+foo combos which translate to 'Previous____'.
