Package: kdm
Version: 4:3.5.2-1
Followup-For: Bug #273724
I am writing to confirm the existence of this bug and further document the
behavior described by the other user who reported it two years ago.
setxkbmap -print shows the following output:
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc(pc104)+us+compose(rwin)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
};
>From this, it is quite clear that compose(rwin) is set, which should mean that
it is possible to enter the compose key sequences using the right Windows key.
However, this only works correctly in X sessions started outside of kdm.
Inside kdm, pressing compose+'+e which should produce "lowercase e acute"
simply gets ignored. Same is true for other keys.
The fact that I have set this option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf as follows does not
make any difference. The option is also set in kcontrol as described by the
other user. Neither of these fix the problem.
Here is the settings in xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin"
