Bug#352833: xlibs: xkb no longer handles grp:shift_toggle)
I think this information (renaming the option) should be put in the NEWS.Debian.gz file. When I first upgraded to 6.9 and discovered shift_toggle no lnoger works, I looked first in the bug tracking system[1], then NEWS.Debian.gz. This file mentioned major changes to xkb and recommended installing xkb-data (which I think was in experimental at the time, but was of no help in any event), but not this specific fix. I think this is worth mentioning. [1] I thought I had reported bug about this, but apprently I forgot to the repeat was eaten by @[EMAIL PROTECTED] exim. Fortunately, exim no longer runs on that box. -- Itai Itai Seggev, University of Mississippi, Department of Physics and Astronomy In 1997 a group of programmers started writing a desktop environment to fix a travesty they didn't create. Their program promptly found its way onto un*x systems everywhere. Today, still opposed by a software monopolist, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you share their vision, if you know you can help, and if you can connect to internet, maybe you can join... the K-Team. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Maybe it would have made sense to put a note somewhere about such things, in my case I just found I can't type Hebrew any more and no note to say anything about it. Or maybe even automatic renaming of the field in the configuration file.

Looking at the relevant file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/rules/xorg there is no mention of the shift_toggle option while there is for alt_shift_toggle. If I change to this, it works. But I really like the double shift toggle and would like to ask to have it back. Look a little bit closer, and you will see grp:shifts_toggle ;) This name change has been made for consistency reason with other modifiers_toggle definitions. Thanks for your report.
