[GOK] problems

[Jim Daly <jdaly ll mit edu>]

hello
 i'm trying to use gok. i am disabled with ALS. the problems i'm 
experiencing are:
   sticky keys don't work on the osk. they do work on physical keyboard 
and if i push a sticky key on the physical keys it works, for that press 
only, on the osk.

   if i use word prediction after a couple of gok freezes and i have to 
kill it.

i am using gok ver 2.24.0 and CentOS 5.2 which is equivalent to red hat 
enterprise 5.2. my sysadmin has tried gok 2.29.91 on fedora 12 and 
ubuntu, i don't know the ver, with no luck. i am using a trackball, 
eventully i want to use opengazer.

if i start gok on comand line i get msgs:
