Well, you need to live with those warnings if you are using xterm and mwm
from
XGGI distribution or consider using binaries from xc-4-binaries directory
distribution from Cygwin/XFree FTP server.  Unfortunately John left.  He
wrote
GGI and GII input and display libraries.  Your only bet to change the
default Input
of XGGI is to ask at GGI mailing list about how to change keyboard settings
for GII libraries. GII libraries control the mouse and keyboard, GGI does
the
display, and XGGI simply runs on top of GGI/GII libraries using whatever
GGI/GII
supports.
