All of the failing apps are GTK2+ based... does it work with another
combination, let's say "<dead_iota> <Shift_L> <a>" (what I'm trying with
that is to find out a possible collision with another system-wide
predefined key combo).
Hum... maybe I'm guessing too much but, have you tried to setup an "us-
intl¹" keyboard layout? I say this because getting the diaeresis
characters (ä, Ä, ë, Ë...) is easier with it as there is no need to
define specific composing combination :-?
