Comment 55 for bug 251709

This bug #251709 (keyboard layout) is really getting confused with #270997 (window manager keystrokes). It concerns me unless these are split up as separate bugs, #251709 will get fixed but #270997 will be forgotten.

I agree with Martin - every window manager has a different set of key strokes to change windows. Under ratpoison for example, anything prefixed with ctrl-t is intended for ratpoison. As latest versions of rdesktop swallow this keystroke, it makes it impossible to change windows (as ratpoison does not have any other mechanism to change windows). It isn't rdesktop's job to second guess what window manager I have installed or what keystrokes it uses.

I could imagine a need to pass every keystroke to rdesktop in some situations, however please make it possible to override this behavour and/or change the default.
