Since I was fairly sure this was a Suse config issue I started to turn off various startup services until I found the culprit.
It is without a doubt the "gnome-session daemon". This program has had a long history of problems but could not find anything along the lines of the repeating character after leaving a program with an ALT key. Before I submit a bug report, is there any Xforms influence that you can think of that would cause this behaviour?

Hi Jens,
Here is an odd problem. Using a simple form with 1 Exit button (see code below) the following occurs;
>From a terminal start program $ test_main
Press ALT+x to exit program.
The program exits amd the terminal displays a constant stream of lower case 'x's. A ctrl-C usually stops it. Without stopping the stream open a new terminal or any program with an input field and the steam continues in those fields.
This happens using OpenSuse 11.2. Fedora 5 and 13 work fine. Redhat 7.3 fine, Ubuntu 10.4 fine. Compiled 1.0.90 and 1.0.93pre1. Same problem. Compiled in Suse or Fedora 5, same thing.
So something unique about Suse configuration. So from the desktop I;
I turn off compiz in favour of Metacity. Same problem.
Turn off Metacity so there is no window decoration. Same problem.
Start X only and xterm and it seems to work as expected. i.e no repeating characters.
If the shortcut is ALT+S then 's' 's stream in the input field.
Any Thoughts?
Serge
