I also had this sticky key problem on my B&W G3 and my old iMac, both
running 3.6. The problem occured when using xdm, and when starting X with
startx.

When I started X on the iMac and used it as an xterm it worked fine, no
sticky keys. e.g. "X -query bigmac" from the iMac got a connection to XDM
on the G3. Business as usual, no problems.
