xev output http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17950812/intrepid.cd.txt bug has also been reported there https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-keyboard/+bug/260589 Let's see if GTK+ is interfering here. Can you try export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim gedit and check if the Congo layout works now in gedit?

The order of check_algorithmically() and check_compact_table() changed (check_algorithmically() was put first recently), so that issues with the compose table mess are silently bypassed. Denis, Regarding workarounds for now, one option is to produce a patch for GTK+ that can be used for the OLPC now. Does the OLPC maintain patches on top of stable releases of libraries?

The above information regarding the specific change in the GTK+ code is not correct. This bug was introduced in GTK+ in March 2008, when the first patch to update gtkimcontextsimple.c was committed. There was a call at that point for testing, http://blogs.gnome.org/simos/2008/03/05/testing-the-updated-im-support-in-gtk/ however this issue with the specific use of combining diacritics was missed. I am planning to close this report as NOTOURBUG and open a report in GNOME Bugzilla. This issue has been reported to GNOME Bugzilla, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=554506 I am closing this report. Thanks Denis for reporting. Quite an exotic case. There were loads of bugs closed in gnome as NOTGNOME, transferred here to xkeyboard-config. But this one went the opposite direction. |
