Hello James, 2011/7/26 James Cloos <[email protected]>: > The likely cause is that the Compose table is not found. > Try tracing (IIRC, on FreeBSD it would be ktrace(8)) an app. Does it > look for Compose files? Does the install directory match where it looked?
Thanks for your intuition. I think we're getting closer. When I ktrace `xev`, it loads $HOME/.XCompose, as the trace shows. However, if I trace `xterm`, the ".XCompose" string doesn't appear in the dump at all, nor "compose-cache" or anything like that. Why would `xev` load it, but not other apps? > Do you have any external Input Method apps running? They would override > the one built in to libX11. I do run ibus. And indeed, when I comment it from .xinitrc, I can get my dead keys back. It seems to be a bug in ibus, that has been mentioned already two years ago, and never solved. Now, I need to know why I don't have this problem on another computer (Debian/GNU Linux and ibus…).
