I refer to Cygwin's XWin version 6.7.0.0-7 or -8 and wmaker version 0.80.2-1. If <Num Lock> is ON, <Esc> key does not passed down to program. In particular I've observed it with xfte and xterm/bash sessions. The program is not responding to the <Esc> key as it should. If I turn off the <Num Lock>, the <Esc> key is passed as usual.

I have tested the problem with full screen, or windowed desktop (i.e. cygwin server running on a single window and all the X sessions inside it). I haven't tested it with rootless WM session. BTW my computer is a Pentium III running Windows 2000 (SP 4).

This problem does not exist if I don't use window manager at all, or if I use twm. It must have been specific to WindowMaker, or bad interaction between it and the X server.
