Hi Jeremy,
This sticky keys issue has been going on for months...I'm not sure
which version of X11 made it appear, as before today I assumed it was all
Synergy's fault and I hadn't noticed that the problem was not present in any
other application.
My installations are from "fink install synergy" on the mac and
"apt-get install synergy" under debian testing on the linux box...both
version 1.3.1. Synergy hasn't been under development for several years,
probably because it works as expected...

Adam,
Do you have any advice on setting this up? Do you know what the difference
is between synergy and quicksynergy?

Interesting...
I've seen someone use this software, but I never tried it myself.
I'm guessing it's probably 99% a problem with synergy and 1% us not working
around this issue (you can look in the code to see how we work around
various vnc quirks).
I'll install it on my fedora box and try setting it up to test...
Was there any version of xquartz that you have seen it work, or is this
just something that has always been broken?

Hi,
I'm having what I think is a problem with X11, XQuartz 2.3.2 (really
2.3.2.1, but the "About" window doesn't include the .1), xorg-server
1.4.2-apple31.
The problem is in use of the popular program Synergy (c.f.
http://synergy2.sourceforge.net) which allows me to share a mouse and
keyboard across two systems as if I had one system with two monitors, but
each system is running its own stuff.
The problem is that when the OSX computer is the "client" and my
linux box is the "server." In this case, I can mouse and keyboard over
from
the server to the client, and in every program EXCEPT X11, it works fine.
In
X11, sometimes there is a further problem--the keys I type are "sticky."
So,
in essence, it's as if the "keyDown" commands are being transferred, but
the
"keyUp" commands are being missed. So, a single key is repeated a bunch of
times.
I'd guess that this is a problem with synergy rather than a problem
with X11 or the apple X11 system...but I am emailing this list in case
anybody has any ideas or has had this problem before. As mentioned, this
problem only occurs in X11 windows...and it's not always a problem
(sometimes keypresses do not stick).
