I was about to say the problem doesn't appear like that (it just takes an age to cycle through all 4 boxes), but I thought I'd better try it - guess what, the alt key is no longer functioning on the duron/2.6.5 box when I go to it like that. I've now gone back to it using key presses and it sorted itself out after I threw in an extra press of the scroll lock (the xterm was responding, unlike console sessions, it was only the alt key that seemed to be swallowed). At least I've now found out a way to fix the immediate "loss of alt key" problem - thanks !

Interesting idea, but I've got enough trouble with userspace apps without hacking the kernel, and anyway /some/ of the scroll-lock keypresses are needed to get directly to the desired session.
