Description
In awt code, at runtime one can disable XKB extension via _AWT_IGNORE_XKB environment variable. Historically, XKB extension was available on Linux only, and for some reason usage of _AWT_IGNORE_XKB was restricted to Linux. Now this restriction is obsolete.

Comments
EVALUATION Fixed with umbrella bug 4360364; if necessary, see webrev attached with 4360364. Note however that disabling of XKB may utterly break your application on the newest platforms: for instance, under Xorg in Solaris 10 most probably nothing will work. ###@###.### 2005-05-30 10:09:41 GMT
