167503 - [gtk2] XFree86 compose key broken

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 176514

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Kent Skaar]

XFree86 got an option for using "compose key" sequences to type characters
that are not accessbile from regular keyboard input.

/etc/X11/XF86Config:
Section "InputDevice"
    ....
    Option      "XkbSymbols" "us(pc101compose)+ctrl(nocaps)"
EndSection

for "oslash", you would type the sequence: alt-gr / o

Building mozilla 1.1 against gtk2, this don't work anymore

Testing with gtk2/Galeon - the interface (Galeon's perferences, Seach popup's)
handles compose key sequences, but the mozilla components like forms don't work

Does this bug still happen?

cc'ing blizzard as this is a gtk2 bug.
also, changing component to even handling, which is a better one I think.

without actaully having looked at the code, something I came across with gtk2
gaim was that it used the depreciated GtkText and GTK_ENABLE_BROKEN, instead 
of GtkTextView - maybe this is what was used here

mozilla uses its own widgets, not gtk ones.
