However, Emacs doesn't. When the compose key is pressed, Emacs complains: "<Multi-key> is undefined". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): emacs-22.2-5.fc9.i386.rpm (from F10 release) emacs-22.3-1.fc10.i386 (from F10 updates-testing) How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a Gnome session 2. Configure Right Control as Compose Key using System > Preferences > Hardware > Keyboard > Layouts > Layout options > Compose key position 3. From a command line, start "emacs -q" 4. Open a new, empty buffer. 5. Press the right control key, followed by keys [e] and [']. Actual results: Emacs will complain: "<Multi-key> is undefined". The characters "e" and "'" will appear in the buffer. Expected results: No complaints, and the character "é" (e with acute accent) in the buffer. Additional info: This bug makes it impossible to enter texts that are beyond ASCII. Therefore this bug is actually a show stopper.

I have a Fedora 8 system running Emacs 21.4.1 and a Fedora 10 system with Emacs 22.x (see previous message). On the F10 system, Emacs 22 complains about the multi_key. When run on the F10 system with display to the F8 system, it behaves normally (multi_key compose works). On the F8 system, Emacs 21 behaves normally. When run on the F8 system with display to the F10 system, it behaves normally. Java application jEdit shows similar behaviour.

I'm not saying that this eliminates the possibility that the problem is related to X settings, but it does eliminate *my* particular X settings. Steps: - boot from Live CD - login - open terminal window - $ su - - # yum install emacs - # ^D - $ emacs Try e.g., right-control. Nothing happens. System -> Preferences > Hardware > Keyboard > Layouts Layout Options > Compose Key Position Select Right Control as Compose Close Back to Emacs. Press right-control. Emacs complains "<multi_key> is not defined". Other applications (e.g. the terminal window) treat control-right now as a compose key.

We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Just to be sure I understand, because it is important, could you confirm that other applications (e.g., gedit) work correctly wtih the Compose key? We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.

This is from a VirtualBox running a clean install of Fedora 10, with all current updates applied. The problem occurs on other hardware as well. Have you tried to reproduce the problem with the Live CD, as I described earlier? This is the easiest and most comfortable way to collect all information you may need. > Just to be sure I understand, because it is important, could you confirm that > other applications (e.g., gedit) work correctly wtih the Compose key? Yes, other apps work correctly with the Compose key.

I suppose it's because an application somehow fails to create an input-context with XCreateIC and emacs itself doesn't have a keybinding defined for Multi_Key. Here is a simple program to see and steps to reproduce: 1. install scim and scim-anthy say. 2. build sample program 3. run it with LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 and XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM 4. run it with LANG=en_US.UTF-8 and XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM Actual Result: 3. works properly and can see the scim panel with ctrl+space and characters appears with the root-window style. 4. fail to create an input-context.
