Re: Interesting keyboard issue under Solaris

To add more to this, killing and restarting ctwm does *not* fix the
problem. I'm pretty sure this is not a bug in ctwm, but I was hoping
that ctwm might be able to provide me with information.

As I understand the model, all keystrokes are taken by the X server,
handed to the window manager, which either swallows them (if they've
been defined to do something), or forwards the keystrokes to the
application with the keyboard focus. I was hoping that ctwm could
tell me which keys it sees, and which ones it forwards.

Do I have this right, and is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
