Before I did anything to the fresh install, I wrote just one line to the .XCompose file: <W> : "a long substitution" Using Kite, I tried typing W while holding down the shift key. I got just the letter "a". I tried to start firefox using the command above. Fire fox gave the error (firefox-esr:1554): Gtk-WARNING **: 15:05:11:541 : GTK+ suports to output one char only: "a long substitution": <W> : "a long substitution" The error was repeated 8 times (with different timetsamps) before the firefox window came up. When I tried to type W, either the W remained as such or the field showed a list of string starting with W. What next steps do you suggest for me? Should I submit a bug report? Where? Thanks, ajith
