MOL 9.65 and keyboard issue

Hello, i have had a strange problem which i saw mentioned elsewhere in 
this mailing list but without solution. i'll try my luck -

i installed mol 9.65 on a TiBook running YDL 2.2 ; the launch with options 
--osx and --config=v  got it going, it works great with OS X 1.5 in full 
screen, lovely stuff.

here's the catch: if i switch back to linux using ctrl - alt - f7 or f8 
(to go back and forth)
i recover my linux session, as desired, but when i return mol to the 
foreground, the
keyboard (map) is messed up, so that i can't type anything in a Darwin 
shell, plus
the dock functions don't respond like they should (they won't run 
basically). luckily
the buttons in the menu bar are working: when i log out the keyboard is 
fine once more, ie i can now log in again and OS X runs fine. that's why i 
suspect some kind
of mapping is lost when i put OS X in background/foreground mode.  any 
idea what i am doing wrong?

this minor bug aside, i found that running mol 9.65 is a very pleasant 
experience. i can't wait to upgrade to jaguar ..

best wishes, christian b.
