[FreeNX-kNX] problems with Mac OS X client

[perkel]

Again, thanks and you've gotten be a bit further, but I'm stuck again.

I used xev on my Mac to determine the keystroke and keysym generated by 
shift-8 and by the numeric keypad '*'.  In both cases they seem appropriate:

[from shift-8]
KeyPress event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x800001,
     root 0x57, subw 0x0, time 31647633, (13,-9), root:(33,55),
     state 0x0, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES,
     XLookupString gives 0 bytes:  ""

KeyPress event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x800001,
     root 0x57, subw 0x0, time 31647849, (13,-9), root:(33,55),
     state 0x1, keycode 36 (keysym 0x2a, asterisk), same_screen YES,
     XLookupString gives 1 bytes:  "*"

KeyRelease event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x800001,
     root 0x57, subw 0x0, time 31647906, (13,-9), root:(33,55),
     state 0x1, keycode 36 (keysym 0x2a, asterisk), same_screen YES,
     XLookupString gives 1 bytes:  "*"

KeyRelease event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x800001,
     root 0x57, subw 0x0, time 31648014, (13,-9), root:(33,55),
     state 0x1, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES,
     XLookupString gives 0 bytes:  ""

[and from fn-P]
KeyPress event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x800001,
     root 0x57, subw 0x0, time 32240898, (14,-9), root:(34,55),
     state 0x0, keycode 75 (keysym 0x2a, asterisk), same_screen YES,
     XLookupString gives 1 bytes:  "*"

KeyRelease event, serial 24, synthetic NO, window 0x800001,
     root 0x57, subw 0x0, time 32240955, (14,-9), root:(34,55),
     state 0x0, keycode 75 (keysym 0x2a, asterisk), same_screen YES,
     XLookupString gives 1 bytes:  "*"

So both are correctly generating keysym 0x2a.  This is also what I see 
in xmodmap -pk.  So is it reasonable to conclude that somewhere 
downstream the keysym is getting changed?  In any case, do you have any 
suggestions for how to proceed in figuring this out?

Thanks again,
David
