Hi
I had this message posted to lyx-users some time ago but did not get any
response. Now I hope to get some help from you instead.

Hi
I have a mysterious problem in math mode.
When I type "^" to get the superscript a hat sign is put into the mathbox
instead.
I know there is a bind "M-m-e" that I can use, and it works, but I'm used
to the hat so I'd really like to get it working.
A comparison of the output from "lyx -dbg lyxrc" with the output from
another mashine where it works yields identical result.
Running lyx remote on another machine works as it should, so the reason
should not be my X installation.
Also running lyx as another user on a fresh account gives the same error.
Therefore I don't think the error is in my personal configuration.
One thing that I don't understand is that my hat is normally a dead key,
but when in lyx it is not.
Here is the output from running "lyx -dbg keyboard" typing "a^b".
I hope it gan give any hints.

I'm running Fedora core 2 with lyx 1.3.5 compiled on the machine.
Funny thing is that it worked earlier with the same os-installation and
lyx.
Thanks in advance
