Package: xbase-clients
Version: 4.1.0-16woody1
Severity: normal

Hello,

I am loading an xmodmap using

$ xmodmap .Xmodmap

and .Xmodmap looks like this

$ cat .Xmodmap
! The first four keysyms are reached as follows:
! 1. The decision between keysym1 or keysym2 (and keysym3 or keysym4)
!    is done by the key with the keysym Shift_[LR] (or maybe by the key
!    with the modifier bit keysym
! 2. The decision between the keysym1/keysym2 and keysym3/keysym4 group is
!    done by the key with generates the Mode_switch keysym (which is in this
!    case the left Alt key).

keycode  30 = u U udiaeresis
keycode  32 = o O odiaeresis
keycode  38 = a A adiaeresis
keycode  39 = s S ssharp
keycode 0x1A = e  E EuroSign cent
keycode 113 = Mode_switch
$

running xmodmap worked, e.g.

rdorsch@paddy:~$ xmodmap -pke|grep " 26"
keycode  26 = e E EuroSign cent
rdorsch@paddy:~$ xmodmap -pke|grep 113
keycode 113 = Mode_switch



That is all ok so far. But when pressing now AltR+<redefined key> I always get the <key> symbol. E.g. when pressing AltR+E I get an "e" instead of a "euro" sign. xev shows the problem

On another system (woody as well), where the mapping is working
correctly, I get (search for EuroSign):

Please let me know, if I can provide any additional information.

Thanks,

Closing since the submitter reported that the problem was gone in Etch,
and no replier complained within a month.
