Thanks very much for the info -- I'll try the patch.

One point about bug 164125 though, is it states that the bug occurs
if gdk is compiled with --disable-xbd.
However, Puppy linux uses a XVesa Kdrive X server (a very small X
server) without support for X keyboard extension. The apps themselves
are compiled on host systems that do have X keyboard extension,
so they work on the host system, but exhibit the problem on Puppy.
...at least get that behaviour comparing Vector with Puppy.
...so GDK lib in Puppy taken straight from Vector, but with Xvesa
   Kdrive, produces this bug.

I get this bug also on Mandrake because I did compile GDK with
--disable-xkb.

Would you mind letting me know one thing -- the patch for this
bug was posted on 2005-02-04, so when does that show up in an
official release? It's not in GTK 2.6.1.
