This does not work in my case. Also interchanging the entries (US
first,
then GR) did not work. I mean you can get the accents, but not the
breathing signs. Strangely enough, even calling
LANG=el_GR.UTF-8 xterm
and then doing things in the new xterm, did not work! I don't
understand
why. I have the el_GR.UTF-8 locale installed.
I really wonder why... I thought if you had a ~/.XCompose file, your
locale didn't matter (except if you specifically used it in that file,
by doing 'include "%L"'). Maybe it's not used at all?
I think it did not work because I am trying out scim and uim. I must
have been running scim at the time. It seems that when scim is running,
only its own internal version of the compose file is used.
Customisations in ῀/.XCompose do not work at all. With uim, they work.
The Greek entry must of course come second in the ῀/.XCompose file. I
do not know how uim does it.
This also means that when you run scim, the ogonek and horn do not
work as breathing signs even if the locale is el_GR.UTF-8, because
scim's internal copy of the Compose file is only the "common" one.
In addition, when you try to type Greek Polytonic in OpenOffice.org, it
will not work.
The reason is that the default Input Method, GTK+ IM does not know yet
about these dead keys and does not pass them on.
Therefore, when selecting Greek Polytonic in the X Input Method (XIM),
for example, using System/Preferences/Keyboard or adding the Keyboard
Indicator applet, all in GNOME (such as Ubuntu), you have to do first
export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
then run OpenOffice.org
In standard GNOME applications you can change the the X Input Method
(XIM) if you right-click in any text box and select XIM from the context
sensitive menu.
Simos
p.s.
Did I write about this in a previous e-mail?
The GTK+ IM bug with not supporting Greek Polytonic is at
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321896
and we are stuck in how to interpret some additions in the Compose file.
