xemacs doesn't like "\" anymore

Hi, reporting strange behaviour of xemacs 21.4.12 in comp.emacs.xemacs, Stephen J. Turnbull told me to send you the output of M-x describe-installation generated (a) with SuSE 8.2 binaries (b) with my self-compiled xemacs Both are version 21.4.12. The problem I reported in comp.emacs.xemacs was as follows: I'm used to german keyboard layout. So I have to press AltGr-ß to get a "\". For years this was no problem for xemacs, but after migration to SuSE 8.2, when I press the key AltGr for the first time after I launched xemacs, the Backtrace-buffer pops up, xemacs beeps and lies Signaling: (undefined-keystroke-sequence [#<keypress-event iso-level3-shift>]) This *is* a lie, since after switching back from backtrace to text-buffer, the next time I press AltGr-ß, xemacs gives me the "\", beeping (sigh), but without popping up the Backtrace-buffer again. The problem is *not* showing up, when I install the binaries delivered with SuSE 8.2. To compile my own version I took sources from xemacs.org, which I had downloaded some month ago to use them with SuSE 8.0 without problems. My intention to compile my own version was to get the GTK-Wigdets (better open-file dialog etc.). Enclosed are the installation-files from SuSE-version and my own compilation.
