Hey all, I've decided to give the xfree4.3 debian packages a try and everything is fine except for one tiny detail - the diacritic symbols on the keyboard stopped working (pl, in my case). I've got the keyboard properly configured in the X config file, locale definition files generated and present, locale envvars are set (in /etc/environment for gdm to load them) to LANG=pl_PL LC_MESSAGES=en_US LC_TIME=en_GB The above used to be sufficient to have polish keyboard in both X and GNOME apps when I was running xfree4.2, right now I have to load the gnome keyboard switcher applet to get the diacritics in _both_ gnome and x apps. Running setxkbmap pl without loading the applet results in the keyboard layout being loaded, but typing Alt-<char> results not in the diacritic being displayed but in its latinized form, e.g. Alt-a should give aogonek, but it gives 'a'. Does anybody have a clue as to what might have changed with regards to keyboard handling in xfree4.3? I'd like to avoid having to load the applet just to have the diacritics I need once in a while... TIA, marek p.s. Setting LC_ALL=pl_PL doesn't help either.
