Bug#328672: xnest: can't type control characters in Xnest clients
Package: xnest
Version: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-6
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I do:
$ Xnest :1 &
$ xterm -display :1 &
Then, in the xterm window within the Xnest window, when I try to use
control characters like ^U, only lowercase 'u' is received and echoed.
