Numeric Keypad Gone with new JVM

[Adam Williams]

I upgraded from the JVM that comes with RedHat 4.2 (kaffe) to
Blackdown's JVM (jdk1.1.6v2-libc5).  Drop and go, beautiful,  much better than
my previous attempts to use thier JVM.  It seems MUCH faster and in some
subtle way even seems to  "look" better.  But now my numeric keypad
doesn't work,  it does nothing,  num-lock on or off.  And I get a pile
of messages at startup like -

Warning: ... found while parsing '%s'
Warning: translation table syntax error: Unknown keysym name: osfCancel
Warning: translation table syntax error: %s
Warning: ... found while parsing ':osfCancel:
ManagerParentCa
n
cel()'


Hello?  These look like X resource issues to me,  but where does this
thing pull them from?  The old java gave me messages too,  but everything
worked?
Any ideas?


I have grepped around in app-defaults etc... for these string but found
nothing.  i tried pointing editres at this app when it was running but
it just says "Sending message to app for resources" or something very
similiar but the app does not report any resources (it is the java
app).  editres works on other apps, so I know that's not the problem.

The app is the Citrix ICA client,  my users (around 150) use that to
access a Winframe (Multi-User NT) server from Linux Desktops.

P.S. Great work guys,  this is fast on an old i486.  Very impressive.

I have 100+ users using the Java client with jdk1.1.6-v5 on RedHat 4.2 systems
(libc5) running the client without such a problem.  Are you using Glibc?  What
is your version of XFree?
