Package: xbase
Version: 3.3-4
Severity: normal

     Operating system:  Kernel 2.0.27, libc-5.4.33
         Distribution:  Debian 1.3.1r6 (Intel)
Not standard packages:  Use of bash-2.01 instead of debian's bash-2.0
-----------------------------

Problem description:
  When I use an OpenLook Application on my display, some bindings of
xterm disappear until I Restart my Xserver. The bindings I use map
some ALT-key with ESC key. The purpose of this mapping is to use the same
key bindings as emacs in an xterm.

I use the package fvwm-2 2.0.45-BETA-4.
I use xserver-svga 3.3-4, on a Matrox Millenium.


-----------------------------
Procedure to generate bug:

- Add some resources to generate bindings

XTerm.VT100.Translations:       #override : \
    <KeyPress> Prior:scroll-back(1,page) \n\
    <KeyPress> Next:scroll-forw(1,page)  \n\
         Meta<Key>B:             string(\033B)\n\
         Meta<Key>C:             string(\033C)\n\
         Meta<Key>D:             string(\033D)\n\
         Meta<Key>F:             string(\033F)\n\
         Meta<Key>L:             string(\033L)\n\
         Meta<Key>R:             string(\033R)\n\
         Meta<Key>T:             string(\033T)\n\
         Meta<Key>U:             string(\033U)\n\
         Meta<Key>Y:             string(\033Y)\n\
   Shift Meta<Key><:             string(\033<)\n\
   Shift Meta<Key>.:             string(\033>)\n\
         Meta<Key>.:             string(\033.)\n\
         Meta<Key>BackSpace:     string(\033\010)\n\
         Meta<Key>Delete:        string(\033\177)


- Run an xterm, try the bindings : everything is OK.
- Then on a remote Sun machine, run some OpenLook apllication, (cm,
  mailtool, debugger, perfmeter, ...)
- Try the bindings of your xterm, Meta-key doesn't work anymore !!
  Although ESC-key works perfectly. This problem seems to be *only* with
  xterm. Emacs continue to work perfectly with Meta-key.

- Restarting the window manager does nothing, I must restart the X server.


-----------------------------



Best Regards.

Thanks Thomas.  I'm thus closing this bug, anyone able to reproduce it
should feel free to reopen and explain how to reproduce.

Cheers,
