Remote Desktop Session Prints Warning Message Everytime I Hit One Specific Key

Hello All,

My question has to do with a Remote Desktop Session going from my Linux HOST to a Windows GUEST.

Linux OS: OpenSuSE 11.4 i586
Windows OS: Windows Server 2003

For some reason after I have run rdekstop to connect to the Windows Guest, whenever I click on the Shift key I get the message below printed into the terminal window I executed the redsktop command in.
Code:
WARNING: No translation for (keysym 0xfe0a, ISO_Prev_Group)

The Shift key does what it is supposed to do, so I'm not sure why I see this warning.

I have tried both of the commands below, but they both seem to have the same result...
Code:
> rdesktop -g 95% -u myUsername 192.168.X.X
                --AND--
> rdesktop -k "en-us" -g 95% -u myUsername 192.168.X.X

I thought that maybe specifying the keyboard layout would help, but it didn't seem to change anything in that regard.

Any ideas for why I am seeing this warning message? Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks in Advance,
Matt

UPDATE:

I just tried using the "-k none" option. When I did this the WARNING message for clicking the Shift key went away, but the arrow keys stopped working, as well as the Num Lock key.

For the Num lock thing, I was able to open the "On-Screen Keyboard" and click Num Lock that way, but the num lock on my keyboard doesn't do anything...

I also tried just "-k en" instead of "en-us", but that had similar results to using the "none" option...

-Matt
