I think this is due to your X russification. There exist two methods of X russification: locale based (symbols determs by special names which describes in keysymdef.h) method based on hex codes of symbols. The second method always works, the first works only with programs that knows the locale. StarOffice don't know russian locale :(. I use the second method: my keyboard map based on hex codes of russian symbols and my XLOCALE is ISO-8859-1. Thus I down't have this problem. -- Serge Gavrilov Institute for Problems in Mechanical Engineering, Laboratory of Hydroelasticity, St.Petersburg, Russia | URL: http://www.ipme.ru/ipme/labs/he/serge.htm
