No, I said something completely different, you didn't read anything I
wrote, did you? :)

Anyway, forget about the issue. I see you don't have time to think
about it and would rather follow blindly a standard or upstream.

Here, see what I found:

http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/nls/Compose/en_US.UTF-8.diff?r1=1.8&r2=1.9&f=h

When you update your files the problem will be solved and you can close
the bug.

I suppose it will be more productive for me to report further bugs
directly to upstream, and then wait some months for you to pick the
patches, is that right?

Bye.
