Final solution on using AltGr keyboard definitions with HP-UX CDE/Motif/ X11R6 and Linux/ Cygwin

[Hans Dekker]

Hello Franz,

It seems the XKB_DISABLE variable is picked up after initializing your 
CDE environment and after having logged in.

Fortunately we don't use usernames with AltGr characters in it, though I 
couldn't tell whether passwords of users have AltGr characters in them.....

After a week without reactions on the subject, I unsubscribed myself 
from the list to prevent overload of my mailbox.

Regards, Hans.
