Hi,
I'm getting the following keyboard behavior on the `gaudi' VS2000 in 9-514:
	- Always have to hit RETURN twice in X windows 
	     (not on console);
	- Always have to hit TAB twice in X windows
	     (haven't checked on console);
	- Compose Char. key is "sticky", like a Caps Lock key.

I tried rebooting the machine yesterday: no effect.  I definitely
don't get these problems on other workstations; and yes, other people
have been noticing these symptoms when using gaudi.

Any suggestions?  Is it truly a hardware problem?  What can I try to fix it?

Thanks!
John E.
