I was running xserver-xorg-core 2:1.14.5-1 so far and updated to
version 2:1.16.0-2+b1 today, as well as going from an older kernel
version to linux-image-3.14-2-amd64 v3.14.15-2 as present in today's
Debian/jessie (also all the other packages on my system are up2date
with today's Debian/jessie).

I'm using xserver-xorg-video-intel with i915 driver on a Lenovo x230
laptop with:

| 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09)

and two external monitors, no custom xorg.conf and using the openbox
window manager.

When I switch from one virtual desktop in X.org to a different
desktop using the keyboard in the openbox window manager, it quite
often triggers:

| (II) AIGLX: Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switch

and as a result sadly causing a ~1sec delay until it's displaying
the desktop I am actually switching to (X.org doesn't crash though).
Amusingly this delay does NOT happen at all when I'm using the
*mouse* to switch between desktops using lxpanel.

Sadly I'm not yet aware which component is responsible for this
buggy behaviour, but according to
http://sources.debian.net/src/xorg-server/2:1.12.4-6%2Bdeb7u2/glx/glxdri2.c/?hl=625#L625
the log message comes from xserver-xorg-core, so reporting it in
case someone else explores this problem. If someone has any hints
what might cause this issue please let me know.

Alright, also no other key combination triggers this effect, so it's
really just the when switching desktops via Alt-F#. Might this be be
related to systemd/libsystemd-login0 looking for Alt-F# key events?
