Sorry, I forgot to cc to misc.
This is weird. I've just tried to type accented characters in beaver, like
C C(C)C,C9C2C<C6
and after that I cannot open it or I get the accented chars like 'a`'
Anyway, I always use vim, which works just perfect.
For info:
~ $ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include
"pc/pc(pc105)+pc/us+pc/it:2+pc/ru(winkeys):3+pc/de:4+group(lwin_toggle)+group(lwin_toggle)"
};
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
I guess the only value in my .profile that might influence is:
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
I don't have a ~/.gtkrc
