I refer to Cygwin's XWin version 6.7.0.0-7 or -8 and wmaker version
0.80.2-1. If <Num Lock> is ON, <Esc> key does not passed down to program. In
particular I've observed it with xfte and xterm/bash sessions. The program
is not responding to the <Esc> key as it should. If I turn off the <Num
Lock>, the <Esc> key is passed as usual.
I have tested the problem with full screen, or windowed desktop (i.e. cygwin
server running on a single window and all the X sessions inside it). I
haven't tested it with rootless WM session. BTW my computer is a Pentium III
running Windows 2000 (SP 4).
This problem does not exist if I don't use window manager at all, or if I
use twm. It must have been specific to WindowMaker, or bad interaction
between it and the X server.
