I do |
| 23 |
emerge =dev-libs/libevent-2.0.16 |
| 24 |
and restart X windows. Everything now works properly. (The recently |
| 25 |
emerged libevent was 2.0.18.) |

I tried this (in Gnome 2) with System/Preferences/Keyboard |
| 31 |
Shortcuts/Desktop/Take a screenshot. It was set to <Print> and I left |
| 32 |
it there. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Similarly, "Take a screenshot of a window" was set to <Alt+Print>. |
| 35 |
Typing <Alt+up> triggered this. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I think there's something wrong with libevent-2.0.18. Does anybody get |
| 38 |
problems in KDE or XFCE? |
