At some point recently in rawhide my compose key stopped working. I think it was around when we switched to evdev, but I couldn't tell you as I don't use it frequently.
Have you set it in Gnome tools, or in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? I did former and it kind of works for me. What is the output of setxkbmap -print ???
I set it in gnome. xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)+compose(caps)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" }; };
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Seems to be working rawhide now, both in gnome and on a plain server with xterm.
Tested with xorg-x11-server-1.5.0-2.fc9, compose works nicely now. I'm closing this bug, please reopen if this is still an issue.
Unfortunately I'm not using 9 any more to test. It seems still broken in rawhide though. I'll open a new bug for that.
