Weird Arch / Gnome problem. Alt stops working when I close a window.

I have a bizzare problem on Arch. I just switched over from Ubuntu, and am liking the flexibility it gives. I've got a reasonably minimal Gnome desktop, but have noticed a strange issue. I use Ctrl-Alt-Cursor to switch around desktops, and Alt-Tab to switch around between windows. Generally, this works well.

However, I've noticed that if I close the last application in a workspace, then the Alt key stops working, so I can't use the keyboard shortcut to switch to another workspace. This seems to be true regardless of what the app is. If I use the 'workspace switcher' applet and manually change workspace, it mysteriously starts working again.

Anyone know what this might be?
