We eventually determined that this was due to the extended key mappings
which are part of the 3.3.3 XServer. We can turn these off in our own
X-configuration file; however, not everyone may want to do this. Are there
any plans for changing the JDK to deal with the new key mappings? How are
others dealing this this?
