I like this patch. The numeric keypad is often used for data entry applications and the KP_Delete button is needed to type the greek decimal point separator (comma). Applying this patch will also make the Greek X.org layout consistent with the Greek Windows layout. Original bug reporter e-mail and comments lost in bugzilla disk death.

Summary: Comma error in greek keyboard (arithmetic keypad)
Product: xorg
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Keywords: l10n
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: App/xkbcomp
AssignedTo: xorg-team at lists.x.org
ReportedBy: panayotis at panayotis.com
I have noticed that in the greek keyboard (el) under xkbcomp/symbols and
xkbcomp/symbols/pc the button from the arithmetic keypad does not produce the
correct symbol.
In greek language the floating point symbol is the comma and not the point.
Unfortunately when somebody presses the <KPDL> key (the key marked with [DEL]
[.] in the arithmetic keypad) produces the symbol "period", since it is not at
all defined in this layout.
for this reason I present you 2 patches for the corresponding el files:

I like this patch.
The numeric keypad is often used for data entry applications
and the KP_Delete button is needed to type the greek decimal point separator
(comma).
Applying this patch will also make the Greek X.org layout consistent with the
Greek Windows layout.
Fixed in CVS by
include "keypad(comma)"
