Aargh! :-/
when i found the server log (in xdm-errors) to check on the above,
i discovered that i'm actually running 3.3.6, which predates the "internet
keys" change.
it seems that of the following servers in my /usr/X11R6/bin:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1784092 Aug 20 2000 XF86_8514
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2073532 Aug 20 2000 XF86_FBDev
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1928124 Aug 20 2000 XF86_Mach32
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2061660 Aug 20 2000 XF86_Mach64
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2090204 Aug 20 2000 XF86_Mono
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2480380 Aug 20 2000 XF86_S3
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2201852 Aug 20 2000 XF86_S3V
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3350364 Aug 20 2000 XF86_SVGA
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2029884 Aug 20 2000 XF86_VGA16
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1847900 Aug 20 2000 XF86_W32
-rwx--x--x 1 root root 1538632 Aug 30 2000 XFree86
only XFree86 is version 4.0.1a. the others are invoked by full path
via xdm/Xservers, but it's XFree86 that's symlinked to from /etc/X11/X,
and that's the path i was invoking to check the server version. :-/
i don't remember how this mess happened, but i'm sure that it's my fault.
sorry for the noise. :-(
