modifiers problems with xlibs 4.3.0.dfsg.1-5
Hi,
The new xlibs package (4.3.0.dfsg.1-5) seems to have some modifier'
problems that breaks alt+tab with metacity for example.
I've attached the xev output for an "alt+tab" action in a "xinit /usr/
bin/X11/xev -- :1 vt8 > /tmp/xev.out" to the mail.
After talking with Brandon on IRC I've tried to revert some changes to
compat/misc (patch xlibs-modifier.patch attached to the mail).
This patch fix the problem on one of my boxes, but has some weird
effects : if you keep a key pressed xev doesn't stop to display "pressed
- released - pressed ..." events instead of displaying one "pressed".
Then I've tried to replace xkb/symbols/pc/pc with the xlibs -4
version ... it fixes the "multi-events problem" but my breaks shift/
altgr/... combinated actions.
Does somebody has an idea of what is exactly broken in xlibs 4.3.0.
dfsg.1-5 ? Let me know if you need more details of the problems ...
Thanks,
Sebastien Bacher
