Hi,

I am not sure whether I should file this here or against the
xlibs-data package, but the problem shows itself only in Qt-based
applications (both KDE and non-KDE, like lyx-qt) so I am going
here. When pressing deadkey with a letter, combination of which
gives Czech letter with diacritical mark (e.g., zcaron), I get
caron and letter-z as two separate characters, ˇz. Mozilla, plain
xterm (not konsole) work in this regard correctly (there are
other keyboard related issues here -- #345436 collects many of
them, but I have also #345893 -- which makes me wonder whether it
is not bug of xorg after all). Unfortuantely, this makes all
Qt-based application practically unusable for all Czech users.

This is my keyboard section in xorg.conf (I have switched off
international keyboard support in KDE Control Center, so it
should be all that is there):

    Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Generic Keyboard"
        Driver      "kbd"
        Option      "CoreKeyboard"
        Option      "XkbRules"  "xorg"
        Option      "XkbModel"  "inspiron" # or "pc104" doesn't matter
        Option      "XkbLayout" "cz_qwerty"
        Option      "XkbOptions"    "compose:caps,grp:led_scroll,grp:alts_toggle"
        Option      "XkbVariant"    "basic"
    EndSection

and this is the output of xprop:

chelcicky:~$ xprop -root | grep XKB
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "inspiron", "cz_qwerty", "basic", "compose:caps,grp:led_scroll,grp:alts_toggle"
chelcicky:~$

Any thoughts?

Matej
