bug#7261: emacsclient ignores keyboard-translate in .emacs

 I am using emacs 23.2.1 in X under Arch Linux with the following .emacs

;; ; Make “C-t” act like “C-x”,
;; ; so it's easier to type on Dvorak layout
 (keyboard-translate ?\C-t ?\C-x)
 (keyboard-translate ?\C-x ?\C-t)

If I start emacs normally then the keys are translated. If I start emacsclient with 

GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 emacsclient --alternate-editor="" -c 

Then the keys are not translated on startup, but I can translate them by opening my .emacs file and running eval-region

If I add other commands to .emacs they are executed correctly but I still don't get any key translation. This bug is present in builds with both lucid and gtk. It seems really weird that key translation breaks when other commands in .emacs are ok.

 If I start emacs normally and then start the server with

M-x server-start

then start emacsclient the key translation works in the client frame. The problem only occurs when emacsclient starts the server

keyboard-translate only acts on the current terminal, since
keyboard-translate-table is a terminal-local variable.  I will update
the docstring to make this clearer.

What you probably want is to do something like

(add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions
	  (lambda (f) (with-selected-frame f
			  (keyboard-translate ?\C-t ?\C-x))))

Reminds me: could someone add a terminal-init-hook?
