Re: French keyboard dead key problem



Hi Jérôme,

Sorry, I meant to send this to the list, not you
personally.

I did a search through all files in /home looking for
"keyboard" or "xkb" and found only the file
~/.openoffice/1.1.0/instdb.ins but this does not look
hopeful.

Do you think this is a configuration problem or a bug?
