[comp.windows.x] XView from expo remaps keys

mende@athos.rutgers.edu (Bob Mende) (06/01/90)

  Working on a Sun3 with a type 3 keyboard, XView from expo.lcs.mit.edu
built with Sun's cc rebinds many of the Auxilary keys on the type 3 (and I
beleive the type 4) keyboard.  The keys in particuar are the "L" keys.
Before a application that is built with XView is run, twm correctly grabs
the "L" keys (an example is L5 if f.raise).  After a XView client is run,
the L5 key generates <ESC>28~ (which is what it does before X interpets
it.)  I have not found a way to restore these keys to X after this happens
short of restarting the server.   Is there a known way to fix this bug (yes
it is a bug).   If not, is there someone who is familiar with the libxview
source who can tell me where this is being down and what I can do to fix it
without breaking all XView clients.

				thanks....
