[winswitch] xpra and the letter A

[Troy Cauble]

Just for fun I ssh'd to my server and ran 'xpra attach :100' locally
and back through my ssh tunnel.
The letter A/a worked on that.  But when I backspaced to my prompt
(which I think would cause a BELL),
xpra attach died with

$ xpra attach :100
Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display "localhost:12.0".
cannot import dbus.glib notification wrapper:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name
org.freedesktop.Notifications was not provided by any .service files
mmap enabled using /tmp/xpra.k81xUq.mmap
disabling compression
Attached (press Control-C to detach)
The program 'xpra' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'XkbBadKeyboard'.
  (Details: serial 807 error_code 143 request_code 140 minor_code 3)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
