Somehow recently, with with the introduction of 1.4 xorg-server I started to hit a problem that my contents from clipboard get pasted into my active window upon return from the console mode back to X session via Alt+F7. Has anybody observed this? Just select some text by mouse, hit Ctrl+Alt+F1, do something and return back via Alt+F7. It is nasty and I think once I even managed to see my password. I guess it was shown after I have killed xtrlock and returned to X via Alt+F7. Please tell me what details do you need.

No such issue here...
Before someone asks: $ setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete+ledscroll(group_lock)" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)+group(switch)+group(alt_shift_toggle)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" }; }; $
Definitely happens here, e.g. I started xterm, then vim, put vim into INSERT mode, Ctrl+Alt+F1. Mostly when I do return via Alt+F7 I get into help mode of vim. I am using your xorg.conf and *.fdi file to have cz_qwerty layout with 1.4.0.90-r3 & hal-0.5.10.

I hope this is considered as a serious flaw and can cause security issues. For example, I already saw pasted my password into xterm window, also my $HOME/.signature got pasted with all linebreaks as it is being picked up by Thunderbird which I do use.
Actually, I think this is a bug in the evdev 1.2.0 input driver.
