- Subject: xmcd: accelerator keys don't work after losing focus with modifier pressed

Package: xmcd
Version: 2.5pl1-7.1
I have xmcd running in a 3x3 virtual desktop under fvwm 2.2. When
started, pressing 'p' toggles play/pause, 'j' ejects, and so on, as
in the manual. If I move around the virtual desktop using the
mouse, there's no problem; the keyboard accelerators continue to
work. However, if I use a keystroke[1] to move around the virtual
desktop, the accelerators usually no longer have any effect, though
tab, arrows and space can still be used to operate the UI.
[1] I have this bound in fvwm to Alt+<arrow> keys, though I find I
have to use Meta+<arrow> instead (in my setup, Meta is mod1, and
is on the key labelled "Alt"; Alt is mod4 and is on the "w*nd*ws"
key - only Emacs seems to DTRT in this configuration).
Occasionally (but not repeatably, sigh) I've managed to get the
functionality to reappear. I can usually do this by minimising it
with the window manager and bringing it back again, but we're getting
into non-determinate behaviour here. IOW, it sometimes works and
sometimes doesn't. And sometimes it only works for one keystroke and
then stops working. I'm baffled.
I think this may actually be a Lesstif bug, or a fvwm one, but I'm
reporting it here because this is where I've seen it. Feel free to
reassign if you think it's misplaced.
