   We use here a varied collection of NCD X terminals, DEC and Sun workstations.
   It has been noticed that using toolkit programs that require text entry

   i.e. the key immediately to the left of the spacebar .. does not work.

I was wondering what was causing that behavior (sitting in front of
a Dec 5000's keyboard (UWS 4.0) running applications from a Sun 4
(X11R4).  Any fix would be welcomed.
