no 'left' in X



Hi,

Running Sid, for some reason in X I have no 'left', left arrow. But I do in console mode and also running Lenny, so it's not hardware.

Running 'xev', up, down, right all turn out something like:

...
KeyPress event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0xa00001,
    root 0x6c, subw 0xa00002, time 6940579, (48,38), root:(107,175),
    state 0x0, keycode 114 (keysym 0xff53, Right), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: True
...

but 'left' gets:

...
KeyRelease event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0xa00001,
     root 0x6c, subw 0xa00002, time 6959427, (48,38), root:(107,175),
     state 0x0, keycode 113 (keysym 0xff20, Multi_key), same_screen YES,
     XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
     XFilterEvent returns: False
...

What's with that 'multi-key'?

And what is the way to fix it?

Hugo
