I thought i would get the Mnemonic working with a KeyEvent created by java, but the
KeyEvent objects returned are different from what is specified in the constructor,
and i cannot create an event with modifier=Alt.

i have sent it to a java list as it seems to be java but it may also be related the
java-linux problem...
================================================

The attached code outputs this:

alt key event: java.awt.event.KeyEvent[KEY_PRESSED,
keyCode=73,keyChar='I',modifiers=Ctrl] on frame0

How can i make it say KeyChar='i' and modifiers=Alt

?
thanks
