[maemo-users] X Server Keyboard not working

[From: Tim Ashman]

Ok, just tried openoffice remote like you showed at that does work,  so it 
appears to be a problem with kmail or maybe kde apps.  I'll do a little more 
exploring if anyone knows how a kde app would be different from openoffice 
please give me a clue.

thanks again
