The symptoms are pretty clear: I had this always.

Sure I've changed things. But the keyboard-kludge is really old.

Do you use an old kernel or the current one? Try also with another kernel.  
And try to run xaaes from mint.cnf.

Have the xaaes-threads the same pgrp as init?

I've never seen this. Does it affect all Ctrl-Alts or only Ctrl-Alt-Q/S?

Try to open the taskmanager from the main-menu and see if Ctrl-Alt works  
again.

I'm pretty sure that it's kernel or qed. In the MiNT-debug I get:

pid  72 (qed): Dopendir(U:\ram\clipbrd\): error -33
pid  72 (qed): Fxattr(U:\ram\clipbrd\): path2cookie returned -33

Leave away the last \:

clipbrd=u:\ram\clipbrd
