In my previous message I wrote about the freezing of the window manager
when switching languages with xkb. Since the functionality returns to normal
when switching back to english, the desktop could be used if this was
the only problem.

Unfortunately there is more. Greek (and other languages) use dead keys
to write
accented letters. I start emacs in which I can write English and Greek.
In a terminal I execute

|setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle us,gr|

Return to emacs and switch keyboard with alt_shift. Now you can write
Greek but
not accented letters. So it seems that the dead keys (; and : for Greek)
do not reach
the Xserver. They are trapped by the window manager maybe? I do not know.

With this problem CDE is not minimally usable in other languages than those
supported by the iso-8859-1 standard.
