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.
