Description of problem:
Hi,

When pressing the backspace key within X, the backspace is performed
but then a "q" is printed, again I have seen this occur when using the
tab and delete keys also the function is performed but is then
proceeded by printing the letter "q".

I am using a Logitech Wireless Keyboard and Logitech Optical Mouse.
They are conencted to a Belkin KVM (OmniView� ENTERPRISE Series
Dual-Port PS/2 KVM Cable), which goes between one of my XP servers and
my Red Hat 9 server (HP pavilion intel P4 2.8, i686). This problem
only occurs in X on the Linux server, and doesnt occur on the windows
XP machine. Additional I have found a forum where many others are
seeing the same problem but on varying HW and OS release:

http://linuxquestions.org/questions/history/91258

Additionally I have noticed that if you press the backspace button and
then quickly start typing, it is not until you stop typing or pause,
that the letter "q" is printed.

Thanks,
Mark

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press either the backspace, tab or delete key
2. Problem occurs    

Actual Results:  After pressing one of the above buttons the letter
"q" is printed, e.g.

# echo hellop
<press backspace, then letter "q" appears>
# echo helloq

Expected Results:  The character should be removed and the "q" should
not appear.

Additional info:

There is a workaround in the fact that you do not press the backspace,
etc keys and use the mouse to highlight and then press space or
something, but it should not be occuring.
