FVWM: Recent problem with control and shift modification characters

[don fisher]

I have been using FVWM since it was introduced, with great pleasure. My 
last system was Fedora 18 running fvwm2 2.6.5. I recently moved to 
openSuse 3.2 running fvwm2 2.6.6. I have encountered a problem that I 
cannot resolve. All of the modifier keys, esc, ctrl and shift do not 
appear to provide the control options they used to. I ran xev and the 
keys appear to be present, at least in the root window where xev runs.

Can you suggest where these keys are being trapped? I assume it is in 
openSuse, but am not aware of a way to diagnose the problem. Is there 
any thing that I can enable to show if these keystrokes are being 
delivered to fvwm? Since Suse is KDE based, I need to have a strong 
argument before posting to their list, it indeed it is something they 
have done.

I did move the 2.6.5 version to openSuse and still experience the same 
problem. It may be me being stupid, but I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Don
