This has come up in another message a couple of days ago,
and in a bug that was long outstanding.
The bug (#693156) says :
> If Num Lock, Caps Lock, or Scroll lock is active,
> keyboard accelerators for the menu are not triggered.
When I wrote :
> This is the same behaviour as with OpenMotif.
Joe English answered :

The other interaction, on the mailing list, was :

I have two questions on this :
1. One post says IRIX deals with this, the other appears to deny that.
Which one is true ? And does AIX deal with it?
2. How do these systems deal with it. Do they translate a call by the
application to register Alt<Key>P into the string as described by
Michel above ?
Thanks for any input,
Danny
