Package: ratpoison
Version: 1.4.3-1
I use the following .ratpoisonrc,
----8<---
escape section
bind onehalf meta
----8<----
(The key in question is located between ESC and TAB on my Swedish
keyboard).
I start X from the command line using startx, and I start ratpoison
from my .xinitrc file.
After upgrading from Etch to Lenny, this no longer works. When I start
ratpoison, I get the default escape and meta keys, C-t and t, not the
ones I have configured in my startup file.
I have checked, using strace, that ratpoison reads the file,
open("/home/nisse/.ratpoisonrc", O_RDONLY) = 4
fcntl64(4, F_GETFD) = 0
fcntl64(4, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0
fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=33, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) =
0xb7f46000
read(4, "escape section\nbind onehalf meta\n"..., 4096) = 33
read(4, ""..., 4096) = 0
close(4) = 0
I also think the command parser recognizes the commands, since it
works fine to configure the keys from an xterm command line,
$ ratpoison -c 'escape section'
$ ratpoison -c 'bind onehalf meta'
Or maybe I should say "almost works", after the above command, the
§-key acts correctly as the ratpoison escape key. The sequence § ½
works in emacs, in that it inserts a § character. However, the § ½
sequence does not work in xterm, where it seems to have no effect at
all, the behaviour is the same as if I type § C-g.
I'm puzzled.
