I'm using cvs from a couple days ago, and recently started having 
problems with modifier keys. If I would like to press 'command-A' 
(alt-shift-a on my keyboard), I now have to press alt first, then 
shift, then a. previously I was pressing shift first, though I think 
it worked in the reverse order as well.

Currently, after pressing that key combination, my keyboard will be 
stuck in 'command-lock' mode until I hit the alt key again. meaning, 
that whenever I hit a character, its interpreted as if the command key 
was also being pressed. I don't have any of these problems if the 
shift key is not involved.  ie, pressing alt-a works as expected.
