Re: [RP] Using q as ratpoison escape character disables <ctrl+q> (<ctrl+q>+q)

This does work. I tried it with C-q q and everything works as it is 
supposed to.

The man page of xterm says about "allowSendEvents":

Specifies whether or not synthetic key and button events (generated 
using the X protocol SendEvent  request) should  be interpreted or 
discarded.  The default is ``false'' meaning they are discarded.  Note 
that allowing such events creates a very large security hole.  The 
default is ``false.''

I understand now why it works better but what kind of security hole is it ?
