Has anyone experienced any problems binding functions to the L,R, and F keys for the Sun-4 type keyboard under the R4 twm? I just can't seem to be able to get that to work. Twm simply passes the keys through to xterm when I bind something like "F1" in the window context to call f.iconify. There are no error messages printed when parsing the code, so I know twm does recognize the keys. I've tested the twm with both R4 and R3 servers with the same result. Our "current" twm under R3 works fine with either the R3 or R4 server, so I know it has nothing to do with the server. Is anyone able to bind the keys at all? I'm running on a Sparcstation 1 under SunOS 4.0.3. I've sent a bug report to xbugs, but haven't had any response yet. I'd like to at least confirm that the bug is real and others are having this problem, so if you are/aren't having the problem on a Sparcstation, please let me know. Thanks. Rakesh Patel.

Ummm.. I managed to get things working. Somehow, the libX11 shared
library was really messed up. I ended up rebuilding it, and even
should it *is* linked as a shared libaray, I had to rebuild twm
in order to get the problem fixed. Really strange! Anyway, considering
what happened, I'm going to have to rebuild the whole core
distribution to make sure I don't find any other clients in such a
weird state.
Well, other than that weird problem, and needing the patch that
Isaac J. Salzman posted to handle XFileSearchPathDefault since
I also use /usr/local/X11R4/{bin.lib,include} to store everything in
one directory, there weren't any real problems.

(Ps: What a relief to have the L,R, and F keys back!)
