Hi,
when I have X running and start off (latest) xemacs & from the command
line, my German keyboard is non-existing. WTF?
Even the important tilde character can't be typed anymore.
Not only until I quit xemacs, my keymap in xterm works again as
expected.
Are you saying the the keymap for all X windows is changed while xemacs
is running? Or does it only affect the Xemacs window?
Forgive my ignorance about german keyboard usage, but is the tilde
character used in some kind of composition sequence which isn't working
anymore? Or do you just want to type lots of tildes?
Ok, it seems I can reproduce this by telling Windows I have a german keyboard
(although starting the X server with '-xkblayout de' doesn't seem to be
sufficient, which is somewhat mysterious) and it only affects the xemacs window.

A workaround seems to be to do 'setxkbmap de' before starting xemacs.
This and other reported problems make me thing something not quite right about
the way we are initializing XKB for an autodetected keyboard layout
(probably related to MPX changes in the X server), which needs more
investigation....
