Bug#301971: KGlobalAccel conflicts with Mode_switch handling on SunRay
Package: kdelibs4
Version: 4:3.3.2-4.0.2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Kde global accelerators (like Ctrl+Fn to switch desktops, Alt_F2 for Run
Command, etc) don't work on SunRay terminals, served from a Debian Linux
server, if keyboard is in Russian mode. Accelerators work OK when
keyboard is in English mode.
This is caused by the way how SunRay's handle keyboard mode switch. The
X server used (Xnewt) does not support XKB. The only way to implement
two-language keyboard is to write a xmodmap file, that defines 4-keysym
mappings, and maps Mode_switch to mod3 (note that only mapping to mod3
works, mapping to any other X modifier does not).
This makes most things work correctly, but not KGlobalAccel, which
becomes confused by mod3 bit set in state of incoming X
KeyPress/KeyRelease events.
This may be fixed by applying the following patch to libkdecore (patch
done for KDE 3.3, but almost same applies to KDE 3.4).
