The keys show up in the Xterm that I started executor from. I have no idea why this occurs. I have not seen somethng as moribund as this. (my mouse has always worked.) This is a problem which has persisted across several versions of executor and the Linux kernel -- I now use 1.99n and 1.2.8, and it showed up last night. Is this possibly window-manager related?
