What is replacement for the "-kb" Xwin startup parameter

I a using Xwin to connect to an AIX system using XDMCP.

This was working fine on an old version of Xwin, 
As long as I used the "-kb" command line argument 
(there was an old post in the FAQ, suggesting that parameter
As the workaround for AIX not handling "keyboard extensions").

I just downloaded 1.7.3.0 on another Win-XP system, and discovered
That -kb is no longer supported.  Without that argument, I am able 
To successfully connect using XDMCP, but after opening my 2nd 
Xterm, the window "freezes" up... neither mouse or keyboard 
Seems to function with it (which was the same symptom I had on 
The old version prior to adding the "-kb" startup parm.

Suggestions are welcome.
