But the ca(multi) setting does not work either alone or with the us
for switching. The accent keys are dead. Maybe the option for the
keys should be set to nodeadkeys.
But this is not worth pursuing as I am spending too much time on
this as is. I have things under control, it just seems strange that
the ca(multi) cannot be installed. Could be fluxbox? Oh well.

Now, here's the weird stuff - ca multi works in Firefox... but not in xterm
so, the keyboard has to be set from fluxbox... works fine in Inkscape,
gnucash, abacus, so the real problem is in xterm - and that is totally
unimportant as long as good ol' English works it it.
