I *think* these events are passed directly to X, not to kde.
So that would rule out the upgrade from monolithic kde.

If I recall correctly the kde monolithic switch was around the same time Xorg 
had a major upgrade. In that upgrade there were some radical changes to the 
keyboard configuration. Is it possible the CTRL-ALT-NUM+ event doesn't 
trigger because the keyboard config is incorrect?
