Probably because your NumLock key is ``on''.  The Xview server package
is trying to set up all of the modifier mappings with various sundry
keys, one of which is NumLock, all in support of the thoroughly
useless mouseless model.  If one of those keys happens to be pressed
down or toggled on, then the modifier map is busy.  So it retries a
few times and then gives up.
