Not working SHIFT key under xemacs after starting "startxwin.bat" with Swiss keyboard

[Mohsen Owzar]

Hi all,
I have searched on the CygwinFAQ page and mailing list but couldn't 
find the answer of my question. Therfore I try to explain it. And I hope
that I explain my problem to the right mailing list.
Perhaps someone had the same problem like me.
I will attach cygcheck.out as well to this report.

Now the description of the problem:
-----------------------------------
After I have started Cygwin.bat from the desktop, I get a shell.
If I invoke from this shell "xemacs &", I get an XEMACS-Frame,
in which I can use all my macros and key bindings I have defined
in my "init.el".

Even if I have swiss keyboard, it works perfectly.
But when I start "startxwin.bat" I get a shell called: "Cygwin/X X"

If I invoke again xemacs from within this shell, I get an xemacs-
frame. As soon as I click onto this frame, it is divided vertically.
And I get the messages as below in the other window.
   ----------------------------------------------------
   (1) (xim-xlib/warning) Can't even set locale to `C'!
   (2) (xim-xlib/warning) Can't set locale.
   Using C locale instead.
   ----------------------------------------------------
After that, if I open a file to edit, it seems to be that I have now
US-Keyboard, because my "Z" and "Y" have changed their places.
From someone I got the hint to use the following line in my 
"startxwin.bat" file to get rid of this problem for my swiss keyboard.
   ----------------------------------------------------------------
   run XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -silent-dup-error -xkblayout ch
   ----------------------------------------------------------------
With this method "Z" and "Y" have the right places again but the SHIFT
key in XEMACS has no meaning more.
For example I have of F1 the following commands:
  --------------------------------------     
       F1  = shrink-window-horizontally
    sh F1  = Revert-buffer
  Ctrl F1  = enlarge-window-horizontally
  --------------------------------------     
"F1" and "ctrl F1" work perfectly but "sh F1" not, as if it is not
recognized, when I press the SHIFT key. Instead it shrinks the window
Horizontally.
On the "Cygwin/X X" shell I get the message:
         --------------------------------------------
         $ Warning: Unable to load any usable fontset
         --------------------------------------------
as well.
If I invoke the on this shell "xterm &" I will get a new xterm-shell
but on the existing shell I get the following messages:
  --------------------------------------------------------------
  $ Warning: locale not supported by C library, locale unchanged
  Warning: locale not supported by Xlib, locale set to C
  Warning: X locale modifiers not supported, using default
  Failed to open input method
  --------------------------------------------------------------
 I will be very happy to get an answer to solve my problem

Regards
Mohsen
