The only proof I had was anecdotal: I started using 2.6.35 on Lucid long before upgrading to Maverick. Alt-PrintScreen was broken back then, before any of Maverick's X changes were near my system.

But if the patch by Dmitry Torokhov is the cause of this behavioural change (which it does look like it could be - it's making sysrq bypass evdev), we need to nail down the rationale (if it was intended) or blindly counter the patch... I can't see there being enough time to send this upstream, get a fix and get it back through trunk into maverick before release.
