Since upgrading to xorg 7.1 (I think that's what caused it, can't confirm though...) the input of umlaut characters and "ess-zed" (i.e. =F6=E4=FC=DF) no longer works in emacs but does in all my other x apps like gnome-terminal, thunderbird, etc. As far as I can see, emacs doesn't even get a key event, since if I run C-h k ("describe key") and then enter one of these keys, emacs doesn't respond and continues to wait for input. If I capture the key-event with xev, the event is registered, but XLookupString fails and nothing is returned: KeyPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001, root 0x64, subw 0x0, time 1240145440, (128,63), root:(143,184), state 0x0, keycode 47 (keysym 0xf6, odiaeresis), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: as opposed to pressing a "normal" key (here the letter "a"): KeyPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x3800001, root 0x64, subw 0x0, time 1240200466, (94,91), root:(109,212), state 0x0, keycode 38 (keysym 0x61, a), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (61) "a" My locale is: josh@om:~$ locale LANG=3Dde_DE.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=3D"de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC=3D"de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TIME=3D"de_DE.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE=3D"de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY=3D"de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES=3D"de_DE.UTF-8" LC_PAPER=3D"de_DE.UTF-8" LC_NAME=3D"de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS=3D"de_DE.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE=3D"de_DE.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT=3D"de_DE.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION=3D"de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ALL=3D Thanks in advance for any help. -j
