Under RH6.2 the result on pressing apostrophe followed by the letter a would be "a" (aacute). However under both RH7.0 and RH7.1 the rsult is oxb4 (the acute accent) followed by a Note: the problem is with the widgets. If wish is run on its own in a shell the wish correctly interprets the keystrokes -- in the terminal! How Reproducible: I4m sending you my Xmodmap file. Load it in your account as ".Xmodmap" logout from X, and log back in to X to activate it. In a terminal or in gedit, verify that pressing apostrophe followed by a say, generates the character a (aacute). Try it with a Tcl/Tk program with an entry widget and see what happens Steps to Reproduce: 1. set up supplied ".Xmodmap", logout and login again 2. check that apostrophe works as dead_acute (in a terminal 3. try it in a Tcl/Tk program with either an entry widget or a text widget Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information: Looking at the sources, I believe the error is in the routines (commom to both "entry" and "text" which map the ".Xmodmap" file to a table.
