Package: xserver-xephyr
Version: 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-5
Severity: normal
Hi,
I am using the command line
Xephyr -query localhost :1 -ac -screen 1200x900
to start a second KDE session under a second account. It frequently
happens that the keyboard gets mixed up in a way that a normal
character key emits a capital letter while a shifted character key
emits a lower case letter. Special character keys work normally, and
all the caps lock / shift lock key does it switching the keyboard
light on and off. There seems to be no way to get out of this (at
least I haven't found it yet) without terminating Xephyr.
This might be corelated with the error message
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Warning: Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2 symbols
> Ignoring extra symbols
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
that Xephyr spews to the console once in a while.
Greetings
Marc

This has been tagged moreinfo long enough. Hopefully fixed now, if not
feel free to reopen.
