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.
