Hallo Harold,

I've finally installed Cygwin/XFree86 with setup, until this morning I was
still using a version that I installed manually (ahum).

Haven't spotted the duplicate keystrokes (yet?).

After setup, I installed XWin-4.3.0-20-Test01.exe, since I experienced the
"no key input".  This didn't help, as you already know.  Bugger, I hate the
mouse (don't like cats neither, I've got a dog).

I was sorry to read that you were not granted commit rights into the xfree86
organisation.  This is hard to imagine.  Do you know why?   Didn't they like
the colour of your tie?

Geert
