Jonas> The people at XFree say it's a xemacs problem. Yes, it is, if you want to consider it a problem. XEmacs is a reasonably smart X application, and it assumes that when the user generates keysyms, she wants something done about them. As far as I can tell, the iso-level3-shift and dead-tilde keysyms basically exist to be thrown away. Try throwing them away: (define-key global-map [(iso-level3-shift)] #'ignore) (define-key global-map [(dead-tilde)] #'ignore) _Please_ tell us if it works, and if anything else breaks. I have no way to test this, and hesitate to put it into a production XEmacs, or even the FAQ, without some tests. References to relevant standards (and reasonably-priced access to them; paying USD 100 for a paper copy of a 20-page ISO standard so I can maybe fix something that comes up once every 3 years is not something I'm willing to do) would be nice, if the XFree86 people happened to mention them. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
