Tried that; it didn't work for me.
What I found was this:
Start remote shell that starts X11:
#! /bin/sh
[ "$1" = "" ] && {
echo "Usage: $0 <host> [username]"
exit 1
}
SERVER=$1
ssh -n -X -l ${2:-barto} $SERVER xterm
Finish login and then resize the window before typing anything into it.
Bang - control key locked down.
If I ignore the first shell and start a second window, then exit the first
window, it is OK to resize the second window. Apparently the start of the
X11 process combined with a resize of the window (click/drag) causes the
problem.
I've also installed the Xlib to fix the gimp click/drag issue. That may be a
place to consider.
