Most likely this was caused by my recent change in gui to use AltGr as 
Alternate key. Could you locally test if undoing this change (it was in 
XGGServerEvent.m) resolves the problem for you? If this is the case I 
will have to undo my change and add some more comments on how to set the 
key definitions to something sensible.
