Bug#269653: Old kbd-chooser bug on Oldworld Powermac: may someone try reproducing it?

[Rick Thomas <rbthomas55@pobox.com>]

I'll check it out next chance I get.  It will probably be a week or two 
before I get time to try it.  If that's too long, I'd guess you can 
close this issue out.  I've installed several PPC machines (admittedly 
all more modern than the PowerMac 6500/225 in question) since then and 
don't remember seeing this problem.
