Hi,
I found an error in the German translation of xkb-data via the
gnome-keyboard-properties program:
With LANG=C choose "Layouts" and then "Layout Options...". There is a
checkbox that lets you enable a "Key sequence to kill the X server"
and this key sequence is "Control + Alt + Backspace".
In the German translation the key sequence reads "Strg + Alt + Entf".
This is wrong, because the "Entf" key on the German keyboard is not
the same as the "Backspace" key. Instead the "Entf" key is the same as
the "Del" key, which - if pressed in a sequence with Control and Alt -
will not kill the X server, though. In the German language the
"Backspace" key is usually refered to as "Rücktaste".
The attached patch fixes this translation error.
Thanks,
Fabian
