I'm experiencing a bug similar to bug 1710637 with Ubuntu 17.10 again.

Test Case
---------
schroot -u root -c trusty-amd64
edit /etc/apt/sources.list to xenial
apt-get update
apt-get install console-setup
use alt+tab to bring up the window switcher
then use alt+arrow to switch windows

I then end up at the gdm login screen or a virtual tty.

Installing a different set of packages, via apt-get dist-upgrade,
actually ended up killing my desktop session.
