It doesn't seem to be completely reliable. If I do a simple test,
it works. But for example inside a remote X display it appears
not to work (when it used to). I'm confused. Using the
keyboardinput test, I see nothing suspicious, even with the
remote display the modifiers are correctly interpreted.
Are you sure that you have recompiled and reinstalled -gui on the
remote machine running the application? And that you have run svn
up on that machine before?
Yes, I am pretty sure. I'll do another test with more care.
I notice also that we have problems with keyboard shortcuts on
Windoes (= I only get a beep) while they used to work not too long
ago.
