They are not the same, but something's broken anyway :-> Ivan: Apparently you did the following between the last two released versions of konsole: * make default.Keytab xfree4.keytab * make x11r5.keytab default.Keytab Now, this is a bit confusing, because it seems that default.Keytab is a config file just like the *.keytab files, is loaded dynamically, and can thus be changed by the system administrator. But, this turns out not to be the case: default.Keytab contains # This file is used to create the buildin keyboard table. # It is included for reference purpose with the *.keytab # files that are loaded dynamically. # # Modifying it does not have any effect (unless you # derive the default.keytab.h and recompile konsole). So, apparently it seems that you have moved the files around, but not "derived the default.keytab.h" (whatever that means :-/ ) before building the konsole deb. I'm downloading the source right now and I'll see whether I can give you further assistance on what to do to make konsole's keys work well. Everybody: A quick workaround to make your current konsole binaries work, is to (as root, and note the spelling of Keytab vs. keytab) cd /usr/share/apps/konsole/ cp default.Keytab working.keytab then (as ordinary user) start a new konsole, select the *second* entry "xterm (XFree 3.x.x)" in the keyboard configuration menu, and save your settings. Et voilą: your home/end keys will work again ;) You will probably have to rechange and resave your settings when there will be fixed packages, though. -- Andreas Trottmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
