	Yes.  We've encountered that problem a long while back 
	with X on Sun-3's.  What you have to do is tap several times
	on the shift keys (separately or together) until you
	jog the server back to its senses.

	The problem seems to be that the server got a (sometimes
	inadvertent) down-shift key event, but never saw the up event.
