When I ran my Fink-KDE installation, the Keyboard

Could this bug still be there because I did not
re-build KDE or is it just that The Apple guy's
have'nt found a solution to the bug yet?
It doesn't sound like you have a bug at all. It sounds like you need
to
set up a key mapping with xmodmap (which is intended, so you wouldn't
see a difference with whatever version you use.)
Put this into a file and then load it with `xmodmap <filename>', and
see
if it works:
keycode 73 = period
keycode 75 = asterisk
keycode 77 = plus
keycode 83 = slash
keycode 84 = Return
keycode 86 = minus
keycode 89 = equal
keycode 90 = 0
keycode 91 = 1
keycode 92 = 2
keycode 93 = 3
keycode 94 = 4
keycode 95 = 5
keycode 96 = 6
keycode 97 = 7
keycode 99 = 8
keycode 100 = 9
Thanks for the idea Jerry but I tried it and it did not work :[
I started X11, ran xmodmap with the file you mentioned then started
Kate (/sw/bin/kate). I even tried running again after I started Kate to
no effect.
Back to the drawing board. The odd thing is this problem only exists
with KWrite & Kate. All other Text fields and consoles in KDE work
properly. This problem does not exist with any other XFree86
distributions so I assume some speed tweak Apple has added is at the
root of this. Back to XDarwin...
Since I validated this back to beta 2 it should not be a KDE build
issue.
I hope sure Apple fixes this before their final release.
