Nope, re-compiling from source was not helpful, either -with-x or
-without-x.

I reinstalled Synergy using the OSX binary downloaded off of

That said, a 2.3.3 upgrade might fix stuff--but it requires 10.5.7, which
software update is not finding.
The thing is, the sticky key problem is not ALWAYS here...it's sporadic. So,
it just happened after working fine for about an hour.
Next, I will try to hand-compile synergy under OSX and see what I can
see...maybe it was linking against old libraries at the time I compiled it
last (long ago).

Aside from some odd keyboard mapping (linux meta -> osx opt, linux alt ->
osx cmd), it seems to behaving properly here.
I don't see any stuck key issues.
I'm using synergy on Fedora 11 ppc rawhide and on OSX, I'm using X11-2.3.3
and the osx synergy binaries downloaded from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=59275&filename=synergy-1.3.1-1.OSX.tar.gz&a=80918064
Can you please try those binaries instead of the ones from fink?

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.
[snip]
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).

Adam,
You need to enable XTEST I believe. xdpyinfo will tell you if it's
enabled.
I seem to recall that Jeremy added something at my request, after I
pointed out how important XTEST was. It was disabled by default for
security reasons. I originally had some ideas of testing XQuartz in a
more automated way, but I never got around to implementing those ideas,
due to time constraints.
I have some experience with XTEST because I wrote some code that is
used by myself and others for recording, and playing back events with
it via scripts. I used it for a test framework.
Jeremy, do you recall what the option was or defaults write command was?
George
I may have read too quickly... I didn't realize there was a Mac-specific
Synergy. I thought it was an X11-specific thing. You may still need to
enable XTEST anyway, based on what the home page says.
Good luck,
George
