[ltp] Weird Problem with MS Natural Keyboard

BY THE WAY: I don't have the problem when typing CTRL combinations on the Thinkpad's keyboard, even when the MS keyboard is attached.

I've just connected a MS natural multimedia keyboard to my T42p, and I
have a very strange problem.
Whenever I use any CTRL key combinations for navigation (i.e. CTRL-HOME
or CTRL-Right Arrow), there is a long delay (2 secs) before the cursor
moves.  Also, whenever I do this, I cannot paste the contents of the
clipboard (if I go to Klipper and manually select the last thing I
copied, I can paste it).
Has anyone ever seen this?  I was thinking maybe these keys are set up
as some strange keyboard shortcut, but I checked and that's not the
problem.
Enviro: T42p / FC2 / 2.6.6-1.435 / KDE3
