I'm having a problem where if I try to create a remote desktop using X11, my keyboard gets remapped quite oddly. (One key I've learned is that 'e' translates to 'backspace', for instance...)

This does not happen if I just run a program remotely. It only happens if I try to run Xnest or Xephyr and then run a program inside that desktop. (So running xterm directly works fine, but running an xterm in a Xnest session doesn't.)

My 'home desktop' (the one running the X11 server, that I'm trying to remote my FreeBSD desktop to) is OS X 10.6.6, running XQuartz 2.3.6. (The default Apple X11 server.) The FreeBSD machine is running 8.2-RELEASE (amd64).

I do get an error when running Xnest or Xephyr.  In Xephyr the error is:
Xephyr unable to use SHM XImages
expected keysym, got XF86TouchpadToggle: line 123 of inet

In Xnest it is:
expected keysym, got XF86TouchpadToggle: line 123 of inet
Couldn't get keyboard.

Any ideas on what's going on or how to fix it?
