Hi Davide,

FYI: support for lucid will be dropped soon, as it is just too old to
bother..

Hah, back to that old 'a' key problem... sorry about that.
In fixing "AltGr" for many users (mostly MS Windows), it seems we've
made it worse for Mac OS X..
Will fix ASAP and build new DMGs.

It isn't here. What application are you using?
Is it just the right click?

That's fixed now - thanks for reporting this.

Looks like you are running another window manager (or "xpra upgrade"?)
on this display so Xpra exited. This is normal, you can only have one
window manager at a time.
