There are several ways to define X dead keys:

- at xkb level
- at lyx devel (\kmod)

If a user has setup its ^ key to be an accent key, then it should be
an accent key for LyX (also in math). Then one would have to do
^+space to have a superscript.

Otherwise, the ^ key is just a ^ key and it will never do accents (but
it will do superscripts).

Martin> I repeat, what do you suggest?

I think predictability and consistency with other platforms/program is
the most important.
