[Xastir] no keyboard input

[Hurt, Jay]

Sorry for the delay, I'm running English and the key modifiers are off (I
think that's what they're called...) Now for the interesting part... I
switched to the GNOME window manager and Xastir works flawlessly! I think I
must be missing a configuration option within KDE.

Check your NumLock, CapsLock, ScrollLock keys.  Try turning all of
them off.

Are you running with a different language in Xastir?

What's your LANG setting?  ("env | grep LANG")

Are you sure you picked the correct keyboard type in your Slackware
configuration (if Slackware has a way to select that sort of thing)?
