Dead keys have stopped working

[David Kastrup]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

It would appear that dead key processing in X has gone down the drain
again, and the dead keys show up in Emacs' input (when the stuff
still worked, one the completely composed keys made it into the
lossage).


In GNU Emacs 21.3.50.5 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
 of 2003-08-03 on lola.goethe.zz
configured using `configure '--prefix=/usr/local/emacs-21' '--with-gtk''
