You could try the Multy_key functionality from Xkb. I have no idea in what hateful way you can graphically configure this in Gnome, but for me the following command suffices: xmodmap -e 'keycode 117 = Multi_key' This maps the windows "menu" key to the Multi_key, after which I can easily compose characters like ł, by guessing the things that the character looks like. In this case, I hit: multi / l «æþàéöûñ€¢£¥łđð» -- korajn salutojn, juerd waalboer: perl hacker <ju...@juerd.nl> <http://juerd.nl/sig> convolution: ict solutions and consultancy <sa...@convolution.nl> Ik vertrouw stemcomputers niet.
