OK - that's helpful information. I still don't know what do, but you say this can be handled at the X level, somehow? > If you can't, then you should simply copy & paste from a character table, > like > the one shown by kcharselect. Hmm. I tried copy-pasting a character from Emacs, without success. But even if that were to work, I'd want some way to allow the user to input common characters like "é" with some easily-remembered key combination, e.g., "e'" (or something). -- Will
