I am a Brazilian-Portuguese user and my keyboard is configured as us-international kb (see, it is not a Brazilian or Portuguese kb). I don't know if locales has anything to do with the problem. I don't think so, but as an info, my system runs under Brazilian-locales (pt_Br). The bug happens when you type any accent following by a letter into a entry widget: for instance, you will get an "~a" instead an "ã". You can try to reproduce it in Pgaccess, Visual Tcl, or anything that has a Tcl/Tk entry widget. Try it and tell me if you got it. I found some info about a patch or a fix (to Czech language) at Tcl/Tk site and in the related newsgroup (sorry, but I can't remember where). As I feel it somewhat complicated to patch my system just now, I reinstaled the old Tcl/Tk and Postgres. Anyway, I think that this problem will affect other accented languages users, so I posted my experience to alert you, also hoping that someone has a easy soluction to this bug.

[Cooker] Tcl/Tk 8.3.2 with accented characters/dead keys
Hello I've tried some time ago the cooker Postgres 7.0.2-3mdk. As it asks for Tcl/Tk 8.3.2, I updated my original Tcl/Tk 3.0.5 version included in Mandrake 7.1. After that, I could not insert accented characters into any entry of any Tcl/Tk application, which includes VTcl, Pgaccess, and so forth. After some research, I discovered that Tcl/Tk 8.4 will probably solve this bug. If that is correct, the Tcl/Tk packages included in Mandrake 7.2 beta probably will cause the same problems. Or, are there a fix to this bug? Sérvio [EMAIL PROTECTED]
