I hope this is gonna be useful to others. The problem was the %gconf.xml placed in /root/.gconf/apps/Esaltato/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings. Once deleted (I deleted the whole gnome_settins_daemon dir) the problem was solved. This file has inside the global shortcuts I had set for my logitech keyboard. Somehow, after the big X.org update it wasn't welcome. Bye, Esaltato
