Ok, here's an updated suggested patch which
- fixes the "dead_tilde" behaviour, which I tracked down to a totally
hosed nls/Compose/en_US.UTF-8 file. I only added the dead_tilde
handling, but basically the same problem exists (as far as I can tell)
with just about all dead keyboard characters in that configuration.
(check for example the iso8859-1 nls composition file, and notice that
that one does a lot more dead-key combinations correctly that do not
exists in the UTF-8 file.)
Suggested real fix: make the "Autogenerated from UnicodeData.txt" part
have this part auto-generated for all the dead keys, instead of having
to add them by hand like I did for dead_tilde.
- has a more correct patch for "nodeadkeys" for the FI and SE keymaps.
The "live" version of "dead_tilde" isn't called "tilde", it's called
"asciitilde". Similarly "dead_circumflex" -> "asciicircum" (thank God
for inconsistent naming! What would life be without illogical names).
The nodeadkeys thing still doesn't fix things for me, which makes me think
I just don't understand the language, or that I need to do "make World"
_again_ after fixing the keysym names. However, the patch is certainly
better than it used to be, and my keyboard is at least remotely useable
now that I can type a tilde again, so maybe it can be the base for
somebody who actually understands what they are doing instead of just
trying desperately to munge through the tree to figure out how the hell
the xkb translations work in the first place ..
