Hours after writing this, Arch pushed out more major Xorg updates -- got to love this distribution. Anyway, setting colemak via 00-keyboard.conf now works as it's meant to, but I can't make it "stick" any other way. It's not switching windows that kills it: the first invocation of the prefix key resets the XKB variant to qwerty. I'm still inclined to blame CLX, but am still in the dark. >> Eric Abrahamsen <e...@ericabrahamsen.net> writes: >> >>> Milan Zamazal <p...@debian.org> writes: >>> >>>> Other complaints from Debian users concern non-ASCII or Dvorak input in >>>> Stumpwm, e.g.: >>>> >>>> It is not possible to input cyrillic characters into stumpwm prompts, >>>> so it is not possible to exec programs with cyrillic arguments. >>>> >>>> What can be done about it?
