That definitely look like a keyboard layout issue. I assume you're
french and use an azerty layout. Could you try to bind your 'a'
shortcuts twice, once using 'a' and one using 'q'? Do the same for 'z'
and 'w' and check back. I bet it'll work and you're bitten by a layout
change at one point. Gtk+ can't cope with that (though I think xfwm4
shouldn't be harmed by that).

Check in the keyboard properties, layout tab, and tell us what's there.
