[FreeNX-kNX] kbtype issue

I have figured out (somewhat) what is causing the problem I was seeing with
some clients not having they're keystrokes on the client reflected
in the nx session.  If I alter the nxnode to comment out the line that
adds the kbtype info to the K variable:

# backwards compatibility
        K=""
        [ -n "$keyboard" ] && K="-keyboard $keyboard"
#       [ -n "$kbtype" ] && K="-kbtype $kbtype"

then the problem goes away.

The kbtype being passed from the problematic clients is:
kbtype=pc102/en_US

which is odd, because the client host machine is running
Xorg 6.8.1:

X Window System Version 6.8.1 (Debian 6.8.1-0.4 20041109151738 
root at codeman.linux-systeme.org)
Release Date: 17 September 2004
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.8.1
Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.20-wolk4.16s i686 [ELF]
Current Operating System: Linux eaw-linux 2.6.11-1-686 #1 Mon Apr 25 02:31:41 
UTC 2005 i686
 
and is using pc104 for it's keyboard:

hagbard at eaw-linux:~$ grep pc10 /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(**) Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
(**) XKB: model: "pc104"
(**) Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
(**) Generic Keyboard: XkbModel: "pc104"

I'm using nxclient 1.4.0-91 on the client side,
and freenx 0.3.1 on the server side.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to track the 
problem from here?

Ed
