Sorry, that was a stupid question; I should have taken a look at the 
screenshot.  It looks like Window Maker with Gworkspace providing the 
Dock, right?  I still can't reproduce, though.

Some window managers intercept (steal) key modifiers so that's why I 
thought it might be related.

As a general note when downgrading -- it is not guaranteed to work.  Some 
defaults may have no effect (e.g., they were only applicable for the 
higher version of the app you used); others may be of different type than 
the app expects which usually would lead to raising an exception or at 
least some unexpected behavior.  OTOH, some apps may store data in a 
format that is not backwards-compatible with the format that the old 
version of the app understands/implements.  This is not limited to 
GNUstep, most software is not downward-compatible and that is 
understandable.

I suggest that you try to reproduce your bugs without your old ~/GNUstep 
directory from the Ubuntu machine/installation.  Then, if the bugs are 
not there, you can gradually move your old ~/GNUstep contents (defaults 
and data separately) so that you can narrow down the problem.
