OSX, Xnest, and the keyboard

It seems many people have found out like i did that Xnest doesn't work if the client is an OSX machine -- the keyboard doesn't work properly.  I also tried a non-Apple keyboard but no happiness...  My workaround?  The free version of nomachine (http://www.nomachine.com/) -- works like a charm.  The weird thing is, nomachine uses ssh and X11 just like ssh/Xnest does, but it fixes the keyboard problem.
