Unable to read "control alt RIGHT" or "alt TAB" keystrokes under Ubuntu 11.10 (32-bit processor) about jkeymaster

Yes, when some program registers a hotkey, system or not, it remains
exclusive for that program and no one else can use it. Check your log,
there should be something like "could not register a hotkey".

I am working with scmurdock, and along with him, am very glad to have
found your project. I have been able to successfully catch every keystroke
using your program so far, but there is one that is still giving me
difficulties: "control alt RIGHT".

Normally, when I make a registered keystroke while the program is
running, the system gives me output showing that it recieved the event. For
example:

Nov 11, 2011 3:18:35 PM com.tulskiy.keymaster.x11.X11Provider$1 run
INFO: Received event for hotkey: HotKey{ctrl alt T}
HotKey{ctrl alt T}

However, when I register the keystrokes, "control alt RIGHT" or "alt
TAB", nothing is shown when I press them. It's as if the keystrokes weren't
even seen by the program.

In my version of Ubuntu (11.10), the keystrokes "control alt RIGHT" and
"alt TAB" by default are mapped as system shortcuts. I wonder if that has
something to do with my problem. On the same note, I have been able to
successfully receive other keystrokes which are by default mapped as system
shortcuts (for example, "control alt T".)

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
