That's strange.  There shouldn't be any difference in behavior between
the
Gnome and the GTK+ version.  I'm looking at the code and really don't
have
an explanation for you...  Everything _is_ initialized properly.

If this persists, fire up gdb (with `gdb /path/to/gtk-5250 core' and do
a `backtrace').  It should tell me the values of the parameters.

(hack hack hack...)
Okay, Field+/Field- are now the number keypad's +/- keys.
Field exit is also mapped to keypad enter.
Backtab is Shift+Tab.
Shift+Esc is System request, Esc is Attention.
All numbers on keypad work.  '*' and '/' on keypad produce those
characters
(is that right for a dumb terminal).

and per the previous email:

I'm not sure if it will work, but I've mapped Sys_Req to print as well.
Hopefully this will catch the Print Screen key...  (I gotta get a
printer set up one of these days...)

It's still on the to-do list.

But just for you, I've added the +bassackwards command-line switch ;-)
