Hi all,
The subject says it all....
In the function init_modstate (very end of src/drivers/kbd_x11.c) it
returns -1 if XkbGetIncatorState doesn't return 'Success'. This results
in the message 'Error reading indicator state'.
It appears that this fails all the time when you use X over VNC.
Making the return value 0 results in a working system, however this is
not really a suitable fix....

PS I'm only using VNC as it's stateless and that means that I don't
loose my session when my (work) Windows machine crashes... :-)
