Save state hotkeys not functioning on vba-m-gtk-svn1030

I'm using the Arch Linux AUR package from http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16851
Â
Up until a day ago they worked fine, but after a system update Shift + F1-F10 doesn't register with vba-m. Pressing F1-F10 to load a save state works fine, as does saving the state manually from the menu.
Â
The packages I updated just prior to this issue were mpfr, xf86-input-evdev, xf86-input-keyboard, xf86-input-mouse, xf86-input-synaptics, xf86-video-intel, farsight2, fceux, glade, and virtualbox. Removing or reinstalling any of these packages does not resolve the issue. Reinstalling vba-m does not resolve the issue either. Saving states does not work in vanilla VBA. Shift+F1 works in every other program.

This is not our problem, take it up with the distro.

I am using a completely different distro (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS), and I have the same issue.

the idiot who broke the linux libraries.
Â
vba-m isn't the only one affected.

Right, but we can't include a (random) fork of evdev in main repositories. That is pretty much against most policies and not sane to expose the user to testing that.
Â
Telling users to report this downstream is the wrong way to go, because this issue is distribution agnostic.
Â
Why not just use a different method for saving states?
Otherwise plz care to report this bug to freedesktop.org cause it's affecting your code/software.

You could just NOT go out on a tandem and break previously working functionality that more than quite a few applications have used for ever with no issues previously.
Â
VBA doesn't get updated anymore so theres not gunna be a fix there, nor is epsxe expected to get a linux update any time soon.

I think the problem is that vba-m don't consider shift as a modifier key. When I try to set the pad buttons, it registered Shift_L and Shift_R as acceptable keys.
Â
GTK considers all the normal modifiers properly, however the input configuration goes through the input library, which shift can also be used validly as a button
