Hi Jay,
I just did a cvs update, and the gnome-5250 thing is now working properly!
wooohoo! (without crashing with the segfault)

There wasn't any difference in behavior in YOUR code... they both crashed
with segmentation fault when I did the same things. The difference was in
the fact that the gtk version dumped core, whereas the gnome version just
said "Segmentation Fault" and didn't create a core image.
But, at any rate, the problem already appears to have been fixed :)

Well, perhaps I'm just weird, but Field+ doesnt work for me. At least,
not the way I expect it to work. The Keypad's + key causes nothing to
happen... the + key on the regular keyboard (as opposed to the keypad)
does work, but only in numeric fields. (I tend to use Field+ in lieu of
Field Exit on character fields, just by habit, and it really messes me up)
Field- does work from the keypad...
Thanks for the +bassackwards switch. :) I use my computer for other
things besides 5250 emulation, and I'm very used to the ENTER key being
the ENTER key. I don't really think thats backwards... :)
