Maybe. What I'm (still) using works correctly with icewm (1.3.6) and I'm sure it used to mostly work with fluxbox. I did notice that DJ's suggestion enabled the accents on dead-keys in fluxbox, whereas those have not worked for me with fluxbox in the past. So, I'd better look into this more deeply when things have quietened down here. Thanks for the suggestion. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
