The False in there makes xmonad skip this code in XMonad/Main.hsc. It might be a bug that your situation isn't handled properly.
-- set keyboard mapping handle e@(MappingNotifyEvent {}) = do io $ refreshKeyboardMapping e when (ev_request e `elem` [mappingKeyboard, mappingModifier]) $ do setNumlockMask grabKeys
fwiw I don't see why this (or ensuing operations, notably cleanMask) would fail. Might be worth trying DebugKeyEvents to see what's going on? http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Hooks-DebugKeyEvents.htm... -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
