Yup. This is a known issue with XFree86 4.3; they are deliberately breaking backward compatibility with all other implementations of X by assuming that the X Keyboard Extension (XKB) is used in all reasonably intelligent applications. They have kindly provided patches to XEmacs that work around this, but unfortunately they cannot be applied as is, because they are known to break the Xt event loop (losing user input) on some of the platforms XEmacs supports. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
