Hello,
I tried downgrading to te previous version (1.0~cvs.20070916-1) and
after restarting X I got my grave and my dead_tilde working fine again.
So, it seems it was really something in 1.1~cvs.20080104.1-1 which
broke it for me. I'm not sure what was it, but I would guess it could be
the fix for #444035.
Regards,
