If you run X from a SunView window instead of the console, you need to do
a kbd_mode -e instead of kbd_mode -a.

You should probably set up a shell script something like this...

#! /bin/sh
xinit
case "$WINDOW_PARENT" in
"") kbd_mode -a ;;
*) kbd_mode -e ;;
esac

This is still not foolproof, but it's an improvement.
