For some time now I have this in my X startup programs: $ setxkbmap -option compose:menu
After this I can type (in mostly any window) for example: (with MN being the windows-menu key) MN.. gives ... ie an ellipses MN--. gives - ie an en dash MN--- gives -- ie an em dash Not to mention all the e" giving ë etc etc - all the goodies at /usr/share/X11/locale/$LANG/Compose Now suddenly its stopped working. ie it works in most other X apps but not in emacs I thought there may be a race-condition between the setxkb and emacs which are both in my startup programs. So I ran the setxkb command by hand from a shell and (re)started emacs from the shell No luck: The compose works outside emacs Doesn't work inside Any clues? Its the same for emacs 23 and 24 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
