Could you post that as a binary please, as I don't have the SDK setup here.
Thanks

Strange. The first utility qobi posted only works when the window that you want to fix is not the active window. That complicates things.

I don't see that as a problem. I am already doing something similar to support right clicking on a certain binary only app.
As for issue with emacs-lucid, do you have any other app failing in a similar way? it may be useful to isolate the issue.

But many (at least xcalc, xmaple, and others but I don't recall which, but not matlab) incorrectly handled the keyboard. They did not allow typing blue-shifted characters, either as a prefix key or as a shift key, and treated the blue-shifted characters as the underlying alphabetic character. It is sort of hard to use xcalc and xmaple if you can't type numbers, +, *, (, ), etc.

I can't seem to make them work, neither qobi's utility. I've got the Xephyr window id by wmctr -l, then given the hex id as an input to the binary. Then I go back to Xephyr window but no keys get accepted. Where is the point I am missing?
EDIT: well it works when I open a Xephyr window, then apply the hack, then open a gui app inside like abiword. Don't work when I merely call Debian Lxde and after I try to apply the hack to it.

I have found that the key seems to be that you have to run the hack when the window to be hacked does not have focus. For me, this means running a script that uses Zenity to pop up a dialog box, then applying the hack to the window in the background. If the window is in the foreground when the hack is applied, it doesn't work to unfocus and refocus the window.
Here's my hackish script...

Here's my hackish script...
Code:
zenity --display=:0 --info --text="Welcome to Easy Debian LXDE. This window is needed to gain keyboard focus in LXDE. Click OK." &
/usr/bin/Xephyr :1 -screen 800x480 -br -ac &
while [ "x$PARWIN" = "x" ] ; do
# wait for the Xephyr window to appear
export PARWIN=`wmctrl -l | grep -i Xephyr | awk '{print $1}'`
done
wmctrl -i -r $PARWIN -b toggle,fullscreen
while [ "x$TWOWIN" = "x" ] ; do
# wait for the Information dialog to appear
export TWOWIN=`wmctrl -l | grep -i Information | awk '{print $1}'`
done
wmctrl -i -a $TWOWIN
/usr/bin/set-focus $PARWIN
wmctrl -i -a $PARWIN

Had problems with your latest script, because chars don't get to the window and open the contacts app instead. By hand it works. In the pic, jwm

Someone found a workaround for the hardware keyboard bug in canola, same bug affecting BlueMaemo: https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6511#c4
Maybe it also works for your apps.
