[RP] Bug#327196: Debian ratpoison problem with X.org

[Martin Samuelsson]

Package: ratpoison
Version: 1.3.0-7

When running ":definekey top XF86Go exec mpc pause" in the Debian
packaged version of ratpoison no immediate error is reported. But future
keypresses stops going to their clients and ratpoison says the
following:

"ratpoison:events.c:404: error: Impossible: No matching key"

If upgrading to my locally built package from cvs and with patches the
problem goes away (version 1.4.0.CVS.jn.20050823-0cos), becuase the
definekey starts giving an error stating the keysum does not exist.

I would assume that it's fixed in cvs, but I'm not completely sure since
I'm also applying a few patches that might affect things. Is the cause
known or should I investigate further to create a backport or the bug
fix?

Or is it maybe time to release a new upstream soon enough?

(I also noticed that replacing XF86Go with DOESNOTEXIST does not trigger
the problem.)
