I've seen something similar, but after I found a work around I never looked into it further. When I start Xnest and then fvwm, the keytable is blank except the couple additions I made in the configuration file. Now here is the strange part, if I start Xnest, then am careful and press shift while fvwm is starting up, then the keytable is fine. An X reset also clears the good bit. It's worth noting that Fvwm complaints when the keytable is clear as I would expect it to. [fvwm][ParseBinding]: <<ERROR>> No such key: Escape The problem persists if I give fvwm an empty config file as well, but then as it happens when I run kde, it has to be something with the X server not the window manager. I'm not planning on looking into this myself, I just thought I would suggest pressing a key and looking at `xmodmap -pk |grep ..................` output before you press a key and again after to see if it's related. -- David Fries <da...@fries.net> http://fries.net/~david/ (PGP encryption key available)
