Hi Doug.  This is probably due to some of the XKB changes.  Would you mind filing a bug report at http://xquartz.macosforge.org ... I'll take a look at it before finally releasing 2.5.0.

Thanks,
Jeremy

>> We've come a long way since 2.4.0 was released, and the end of the road is in sight for 2.5.0.  2.5.0_rc1 looks quite solid, and I'd like to get more people using it.  This is the first pre-release of 2.5.0 that has been built for both Leopard and SnowLeopard.  The Leopard version still installs to /usr/X11 and X11.app while the SL version installs to /opt/X11 and XQuartz.app to avoid the Software Update collisions that were so common in the Leopard days.
