It seems like X didn't switch the keyboard to raw mode or something like
this... The win key on linux console swithes to a previou vt (don't know
if it is intentional, or just a side effect of the kernel not correctly
handling it)
Sometimes, when an app freezes the whole X (usually when it grabs the
keyboard and freezes) I have to use the magic sysrq keys to "unraw" the
keyboard, which means I can that use alt-fX to swtich to text VTs, kill
the app and return to X... however from that moment on until I restart
X, the keyboard is not in raw mode and alt-fX and also the winkey switch
consoles (like you describe)
