I had a bunch of probelms with the March release of the X server. I
couldn't use ctrl-a, up or down arrows, or ctrl-o. When running Netscape
via Xsession from Solaris, I could not type the letter "a" in a url! It
deleted one character back.
The ctrl-a bugged me the most, because in tcsh and emacs that was the
beginnning of line character. What a drag.
The latest release of X, December 95 fixed this.
