My latest CVS builds are doing something funny with text input too.
A couple of tk/tcl/wish clients aren't accepting keyboard input
into text boxes. At least one of these wish scripts works if run
on the same display, but from a remote machine with a different
version of X and wish, which leads me to suspect a problem in
the X client libraries.
% ldd /usr/bin/wish
libtk8.0.so => /usr/lib/libtk8.0.so (0x4001c000)
libtcl8.0.so => /usr/lib/libtcl8.0.so (0x400ba000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6-v4/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4011e000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x401d7000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x401dc000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x401f9000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
tkdiff (another wish script) and ical (another tcl/tk application)
are both happy to accept keystokes to control the program
('q' to quit for tkdiff, and ctrl-key sequences to cut/copy/paste
items in ical) but wont allow keystrokes to enter text.
