Problem with arrow keys in x-based applications on cygwin


Hi

Im running the newest version of Cygwin on Win 2k Pro. In the Cygwin
standard shell my left and right arrow keys work fine. However, if I
start an xterm or any other x-based application from the cygwin
standard shell, the left and right arrow keys are not working in the
x-based application. I am starting the x-server using the following
parameters:

XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -xkblayout dk -xkbmodel pc105

I have tried different keyboard layouts and models, including standard
"us" without any luck. Looking at the man page for setxkblayout there
are lots of possibilities for customisation, however it looks as if it
will take quite an effort to get into all the details. Any ideas for a
quick solution? Can I just use the standard keyboard layout from Win
2k without overriding it when starting my x-server?

Best regards, Per
