The moving finger writes but X11 ...

[Alec Dunn]

If someone is running X11 it seems that no other process can use keyboard
input!

For example, if I telnet into a 3/60 while someone else is running X11r3
at the console I get the login prompt but nothing I type gets echoed and
my input is being ignored. The same happens with rsh in interactive mode.
But if I rsh with a command then that works.  We are running SunOS v4.0.

Has anybody else encountered this problem?  Has anyone got a fix for it?

Thanks in advance
