[Xquartz-dev] 2.5.0_beta2

[Jeremy Huddleston]

Yes, this is a known issue and related to the meta-data spillover that I mentioned.  Basically, some of the number keys are tagged as though they were letters, so they're "shifting" with capslock on.  This should be resolved with what I'm working on for rc1.

I believe the remaining issue should be restricted to some keys repeating that shouldn't and others that don't repeat that should.  This is because the "should we repeat" metadata is being inherited from an incorrect keymap and not getting clobbered correctly anymore.
