There's no way for unprivileged users to avoid the problem that the Fedora Core 4 eats the C-SPC key.

While I always use the GNOME desktop, I could reproduce the problem by using the KDE desktop. Modifying the Iiimx resource file is effective there, but only that file is read when the user logged in. It is ineffective to load the Iiimx file or the ~/.Xdefaults file by xrdb as well as the GNOME desktop. Furthermore, the `iiimf-le-tools'[1] command doesn't work at both the desktops. [1] http://www.fedora.redhat.com/projects/i18n/iiimf-faq.html By the way, Emacs built with the `--without-xim' option has no problem for fetching the C-SPC key. I built Emacs 21.4 and 22.0.50 and confirmed it. I think that it can become the default since Emacs provides the input methods of practical use. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
