It's been a while since I used MkLinux (it was DR2), but I do remember
having the problem you describe. It was an MkLinux problem, not
associated with any particular window manager, and it had to do with
the type of keyboard I was using. Somewhere in the online MkLinux info
(probably in a FAQ), there is a note regarding which keyboards work
with MkLinux.
Hope this helps.
