RT : 2.6.12rc5 + realtime-preempt-2.6.12-rc5-V0.7.47-15

[Serge Noiraud]

I have a test program which made a loop in RT to mesure the system
perturbation.
It works finely in a tty environment.
When I run it in an X environment ( xterm ), I get something like if I
click the Enter key in the active window.
If I open a new xterm, this is the new active window which receive these
events.
These events stop when the program stop.

I tried with X in RT and no RT : I have the problem.

I send you the program in copy to reproduce.
I have this problem in all version of RT.
