Yes, I have just tried the latest cvs, and the dead keys are broken,
with or without a keymap file selected.
When I type circunflex, it displays :
"Raw keysym: fe52 byte 3: fe00" on the command line.
When I type an umlaut, it displays :
"Raw keysym: fe57 byte 3: fe00"
Then I type my vocal letter, such as "e", and I have either a plain "e"
or an " e" (space followed by an "e") on the screen.
Moreover, when I select a keymap file, no matter which one, then it displays
"ée" when I type "é", "àa" when I type "à" and so on...
Moreover, playing around with the Edit->Preferences window, it has crashed
a few times when I was saving the new preferences. I have not understood
the exact conditions which made it crash, I'll be more precise on that topic
when I'll have seen a reproducible behaviour.
