Description romano 2002-10-23 11:27:37 UTC

Description of Problem:
When running Xnest, the keyboard map in the clients is everytime 
the US map. The keyboard works perfectly in all the other windows.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

XFree86-Xnest-4.2.0-8

How Reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:. Run a X session with a keyboard map not US, for 
example,   spanish.
   Note that I do not run with es_ES locale, I hate this, but simply with 
the appropriate Xmodmap. 
  
2. run Xnest :1 & 

3. xterm -dispaly :1

Actual Results:
Keyboard map for the xterm in the Xterm window is US

Expected Results:
Keyboard map for the xterm in the Xterm window is the same as the 
"main" X server

Additional Information:

Comment 1 Mike A. Harris 2002-10-23 16:10:42 UTC

This is the expected behaviour from the commands that you are running.
You are running the Xnest server directly by hand by typing "Xnest :1"
and getting just what you asked for.  Running Xnest in this way is
identical to starting up X by typing "X" - you don't get xmodmap there
either.

If you want the Xnest server to start up similaraly to XFree86 server
then you need to invoke it properly with startx or xinit.  If you need
further assistance for this problem, please subscribe to the XFree86
user/developer mailing list xpert and someone can assist
you in configuration of any custom scripts you may need.

Hope this helps.
