    • OS: CentOS 5.10
      Window manager: CDE
      Xdmcp version: 7.1.1
      The user logs in from a Windows 7 machine using a remote desktop client called Xmanager version 4 build 0153

      As a follow-up to QTBUG-32760 and QTBUG-34483, QT5.3 and the xkeyboard-config update fixed the keyboard issues for the Xrdp and VNC protocols.

      However, an enterprise customer of ours has run into another keyboard issue. This time, the remote desktop protocol is Xdmcp. The error seems to be that the key mapping gets messed up, for example, if you type '1', what comes out is 'q'.

      We have tried QT5.3 and updating the xkeyboard-config files without success.
      If we use Xrdp and VNC instead of Xdmcp, then everything works.
      If we set an option in Xdmcp to enable XKEYBOARD, then everything works as well.

      Unfortunately, the customer cannot change this setting for fear of affecting all the other applications in his company.
