FreeBSD tempest.waterspout.com 4.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 4.0-CURRENT #24:

>Description:

When gnome-terminal starts up, it immediately grabs the keyboard
so that the user can't type into any other X application.

>How-To-Repeat:

Start up gnome-terminal and check the Settings menu.  "Secure
Keyboard" will be checked, and gnome-terminal will have exclusive
access to input from the keyboard.  In light of the cause, this
problem is probably only reproducible under certain conditions.

>Fix:
	
Initialize the variable that holds the secure keyboard status to
zero.
