If I had my OOo files here on the companies PowerBook I could but 
so I can only ask you to send me a private email off list and I do 
the research when I'm at home in front of my own Mac and the build 
of Milestone 126 is done. 

There are two known workarounds but neither one is really that 
simple. You should at least know that Mac OS X has a terminal and a 
bit of how to use it. 

One workaround would be as adviced here on the liste:

----- Quote Martin Costabel -----

I guess it's the time of ugly hacks again, like in the beginning of 
Apple's X11 adventure. The following works for me:
Create a one-line Apple script with ScriptEditor, containing the 
line

do shell script "/Applications/Utilities/X11.app/Contents/MacOS/X11 
+kb"

Compile, save as application bundle, for example under the name 
X11kb.app, and then double-click this one instead of the original 
X11.app.

----- End of Quote -----

The second workaround is at home. 

The problem here is that this is an apple bug. They simply 
forgot/didn't think about it to use xkb, the X Keyboard Extension

Eric Hoch
