Well, I believe that this disagreement was caused by the fact that no keysyms were obviously the correct ones for dead psili and dasia. People saw the original dead_horn and dead_ogonek, which as you said was an ugly hack, and decided to fix them by using U0313 and U0314 instead. But this wasn't correct either, since these are not *function* keysyms, which should be used for dead keys, but correspond to printable Unicode characters, albeit combining ones. Also this didn't work if they didn't agree with the Compose file, or with the internal composition tables in GTK+. So, others saw this problem, and tried to revert the change or fix it another way (the U10000313 stuff is probably confusion created by the fact that UXXXX = 0x01000000 + 0x0000XXXX). Hopefully, all places where the old hacks appeared will now converge to the new definitions, but of course somebody has to submit the patches and make sure that everything's consistent. The only problem I can think of is that the new keysyms can't be used before systems are upgraded to xproto-7.0.11 - I see that Debian Sid already has it. I'll post a notice about the new definitions to the Greek I18N list, to raise awareness of them.
