When I press acute key ("=") on my PC-104 keyboard and have keyboard switched to cz and then press for example 'i', the window with xterm is closed instead of iacute being printed. The same happens in vi under xterm. I have tried icewm and twm to be sure it's not a problem of the windowmanager. The problem persists in both. I have configured keyboard in /etc/X11/xorg.conf exactly according to http://www.x.org/X11R6.8.1/doc/XKB-Config.html This is relevant section of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "Autorepeat" "250 30" Option "XkbModel" "pc104" Option "XkbLayout" "us,cz" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle" EndSection It is almost an example from the http://www.x.org/X11R6.8.1/doc/XKB-Config.html, only 'de' is removed, and still it doesn't work. I have tried cz_qwerty too and it has the same problem.
Tried links-current (later than 2.1pre15) and writing accented char using dead keys writes the char without the accent, without closing window. Compiled and tried rxvt and writing accented char using dead key in rxvt writes first the dead key (immediately when the dead key is pressed) and then the char without the accent.
'tis an xterm bug
