DESCRIPTION:
This problem was reproduced when using a Japanese 106 keyboard.
Could you try with Japanese keyboard if you have one?
If you do not have one, could you change OS keyboard setting to Japanese keyboard by yast or
something, and try to reproduce the problem, please?
The following test case gives this error:
 > java RobotTest
  VK_KANA_LOCK : Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x9b)!
   And this application is stopped.
======= RobotTest.java =========
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class RobotTest {
  public static void main(String[] args){
    try{
      Robot r = new Robot();
      int height=(int)(java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().getHeight());
      r.setAutoDelay(100);
      System.out.print("VK_KANA_LOCK : ");
      keyType(r, KeyEvent.VK_KANA_LOCK);
    }catch(java.awt.AWTException e){
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    System.exit(0);
  }
  static void keyType(Robot r, int keycode){
    try{
      Thread.sleep(1000);
    }catch(InterruptedException e){
    }
    try{
      r.keyPress(keycode);
      r.keyRelease(keycode);
