My qualified Colleague Tzafrir Cohen helped me demystify the mystery.
It's that pesky lil gkb keyboard applet that was mishandeling some setkb
options and somehow left the system without CTRL-ALT anything ...
To solve in an infected system try ..
propmt> setxkbmap -option "" -option
grp:switch,grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll -rules xfree86 -model pc105
us,il
(exchange the settings to whatever model or keymaps you want ..)
At first we proved that the keyboard layout switcher was in fault by
removing it and seeing that I can switch windows freely.
The I put it back - checked out the defaults in the properties tag and
saw that it was using gkb_xmmap (coming from gnome-applets-2.4.1) to
change by default and once we changed it to use setkbmap it started
working fine.
Finally I have my hebrew support as well as multiple terminals and I can
commence with my experiences with gnome.
I'm truely sorry for implying any consiparacy theory of gnome locking me
in to a single VT solution.
Linux is becoming so friendly and Windows like that I was freightened
that they simply crossed the line ..
