Ok, I found the problem. It seems XIM does not work when xmodmap is loaded and started from Xsession.d.
Background: I created a custom xmodmap file some time ago, because I wanted to have some west european chars on my US/Chinese keyboard. Normally I load my XIM software on startup in Xsession.d. I have also loaded my xmodmap file this way. But somehow qt doesn't like that. I had this issue before and had a talk with the trolltech guys. They said it worked for them, so it might be a debian specific problem. However, GTK2 and plain X apps work fine. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the situation in KDE 3.3.0-1, where XIM worked. I'm not sure if I had enabled the xmodmap file at that time... Maybe you guys can take a look at it? Or give me some hints where I might have to look to find the library which is responsible for this behaviour? Cheers Arne -- Arne Götje (高盛華) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (Spam catcher.
