Dead keys does not work under Linux.

I tested French dead keys in Input text field of http://babel/tests/browser/bft/latin_1/bft_browser_form_latin_1.html,
Find field of Find on this page dialog, and Composer.  Dead keys does not work.

Steps of reproduce
1. Login Linux as root
2. Open the file XF86Config under /etc/X11 directory
3. Change from "XkbLayout  us"  to "XkbLayout  fr"
4. Logout and login as yourself
5. Launch Mozilla

I tested in 120608 Linux build.

Teruko said composer is working but not other places. Teruko, could you tell me
what is the key for dead key in fr keyboard ?
Frank, I thought you were talking about bug 7614.  Dead key does not work in Composer, either.
I tested dead keys in VI and emacs.  VI works dead keys but emacs does not.
In French keyboard,
     ("[" is US key) + e = ê
     shift + ("[" is US key) + e = ë

hum.. are you sure you set up your deadkey xmodmap corectly ? In my linux, I do 
the folowing
cd /usr/share/xmodmap
xmodmap - < xmodmap.fr
(or xmodmap.de)

And the deadkey work (except the focus problem in bug 24614 bug 24615 )

both deadkey and compoition key is not working. Teruko, please make sure the 
dead key is enable in your Linux system first. I know some Linux X server simply 
does not support Dead Key.

cd /usr/share/xmodmap
xmodmap - < xmodmap.fr

Dead key does not work.  I tested dead key in vi, and it works fine in vi.

It is working for me. I hit the english key '['+q/e/i/o/u or Shift'['+q/e/i/o/u 
and get correct result in frech keyboard. Notice you have to hit 'q' for 'a' 
since in french keyboard layout a and q swap. 

Mark this M15. I cannot reproduce this problem

WORKSFORME. I tested on M15(2000041805) and a recent local build(2000042708)
on Linux. My settings are:
	LANG="french"; LC_ALL="french",
I input "dead_tilde" with "a", "A", "n", "N", "o", and "O", and all combinations
work fine.

After I changed the settings LANG="french"; LC_ALL="french", I tested this again
in 2000-05-22-08 Linux build.  Dead keys still does not work in Redhad Linux 6.0 
US.

And, I tested this in Redhad 6.2 Japanese with French locale, but dead key does 
not work.  

Tajima-san, do we need to have certain file to install in order to work dead 
key?

Hmm, this bug is still there. :-( But the dead keys are sometimes functional. I
can't understand why sometimes yes and sometimes no.
On the page http://www.underground.cz/ the dead keys are working fine on text
input boxes. But on the other hand on the page http://www.root.cz/ or for
example here on Bugzilla the dead keys aren't working at all. In the URL field
of the browser the dead keys work. Why?

I can't understand the reasons, but on the page http://www.root.cz/ the dead
keys started working when I switched to 3-5 days later nightly build - I now use
2000071321. Although here on Bugzilla the dead keys still doesn't work.
I guess this problem is related with 42263 that we're now trying to fix.
I've verified I could enable IME on the textfield of http://www.root.cz/ and
URL field of Mozilla but I could not enable IME on BugZilla. So if we could
fix 42263, this problem also can be solved.


42263 has been solved. Now I can use IME on all input fields on
BugZilla.

Tom and Teruko-san, could you check this problem is still
reproducible on the latest build?

Yes, it's fixed now (Linux build 2000080820)! :-)
Good work!
I can't mark it RESOLVED - I am not owner of the bug.

Thanks!

Tajima-san, could you mark this bug as FIXED?
Teruko-san, please verify it. I'll mark it fixed then.
It worked for Tom Mraz.

I can still see this problem in 2000-09-06-08 Linux build. I am checking my 
machine's configuration.
Sorry, I've tested it on different pages than Teruko San. But on that pages it
started to work some time in August. It works today too.

Verified as worksforme.
