(...) All of the failing apps are GTK2+ based... does it work with another combination, let's say "<dead_iota> <Shift_L> <a>" (what I'm trying with that is to find out a possible collision with another system-wide predefined key combo). Hum... maybe I'm guessing too much but, have you tried to setup an "us- intl¹" keyboard layout? I say this because getting the diaeresis characters (ä, Ä, ë, Ë...) is easier with it as there is no need to define specific composing combination :-? ¹http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#US-International Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
