How do I get evince to input accented characters on a fillable form?
locale -a
C
C.utf8
en_US.utf8
fr_FR.utf8
POSIX
French keyboard. Currently, it's difficult to describe what evince produces when
inputting, say, an é or an É, but it's not an é or an É.

Basically I just unpacked the tarball for VMware Workstation 3.2, and
ran the ./vmware-install.pl script. When it prompted, I selected
/opt/vmware as the installation path, and /usr/src/linux/include as the

trees, tho... I've been building my own for quite awhile now.
Thanx for the update!

I occasionally have a need to connect to my home machine from untrusted
systems, so I'm trying to configure ssh to use one-time passwords via
libpam-opie. I started by commenting out the auth entry for
pam_unix.so in /etc/pam.d/ssh, and adding one for pam_opie.so in it's
place. So far so good...
