Both work here. What did it used to do for you?
I'm assuming that the code that this key emits has been changed or X
doesn't recognize it like it doesn't recognize the 'caps lock' key.
Of course I don't expect to hear anything back from this posting like
all the other postings I have made and never got a response to.
While it is good not to have expectations of strangers, whining is
unbecoming. Here is a great link to help you with list interactions:

With the beta of X11 from Apple I would run the command line:
/usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -once -query 140.254.xxx.xx
(It took me 2 months of hunting and digging and asking questions on
various web sites to figure this out).
The two months is an indicator of your abilities, not someone hiding
information from you. Basically, from what you wrote below- you are
trying to get an X session running similar to your experiences with
MacX that ran on 9. In that case, you were utilising XDM and XDMCP, I
believe, where both the server and clients were running on the remote
host.
X11 for OS X is similar, but the server is on your machine and you can
have remote clients display locally.
Why do you need CDE?
This would start up the X11 login window (CDE) on my HP-UX (10.20) box.
This still seems to do the same as it used to but I am not getting
all the new features promised in the X.3/X11 1.0.
What features were promised to you?
The cursor doesn't automatically go to the user login name in CDE,
you have to click in the box first (same as beta).
Can't help you here- but hitting tab might help.
When I start up a terminal session (on the server?) it opens the
terminal window bar behind the CDE menu bar. There is a tiny bit of
the terminal window bar peeking out that you can grab and move it
down (same as beta).
Make an alias to the terminal command that you are using in order to
give placement information. In other words, you can start a terminal
window with:
xterm -geometry 80x50+550+51 &
This will give you 80 character lines, 50 lines, and start it a little
down from the top
and on the right side of the screen (with some adjustments).
[big snip]
Under OS 9.2 using Mac X most of this stuff worked great. You could
even resize the CDE window (you can't resize now under either beta
or 1.0, it fills the whole screen) so that you could see the finder
around the outside of the CDE window.
So far it looks like a step backwards and this is very important to
us.
Running CDE? Or running clients on the HP box?
I haven't tried the beta version under X.3 but if it works like
it did under X.2 then I will have to stick to it even though you
could never hide the CDE window (same as 1.0) so once open it was
always in the background when using other applications.
Don't believe that there is a beta X.3. Believe that it is 1.0 X11.
cheers.
