I don't like the dead keys setting, because under UNIX I more often type characters like ~ or ^ than letters like � or �. So if the compose key doesn't work with Mandrake's english keyboard layout, I'd consider this a bug. -- G�tz Waschk <> master of computer science <> University of Rostock http://wwwtec.informatik.uni-rostock.de/~waschk/waschk.asc for PGP key --> Logout Fascism! <--
