Hi Ray, Yes, that was a typo, sorry. I did mean 'setxkbmap -option compose:rwin'. I agree, it is a problem with 13.x/KDE3. Not sure whether it was fixed in Leap and later versions. The interesting thing is that if I type ssh localhost konsole & then Compose works in the new konsole. It seems to have to do with the session and maybe how DCOP handles signals? I don't know enough about the inner workings of KDE3. Thanks for the tip about installing GTK3. I had thought about it a while ago. I will try it. GTK3 will solve one problem. Another problem is the old glibc. But I will first try installing GTK3. Best, Gianluca On Thu, 12 Jul 2018, Ray Vine wrote:
'setxkbmap -option compose=rwin' - was that a typo, it doesn't work for me? You must have used 'setxkbmap -option compose:rwin' for RWIN to work as the compose key in an xterm. Using that bypasses the KDE configuration files, and enables 'rwin' as the compose key, and works for me in konsole, kate, and LibreOffice as well as xterm. So it does look like a problem in 13.x/KDE3.
It would be useful here to get some feedback from another list member on whether 'setxkbmap -option compose:rwin' sets RWIN as the compose key for them in 13.x, or any later version.
I don't have the files /tmp/kde-root/gb..xkm or /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/compose in any of my opensuse systems.
That would be /tmp/kde-xxx/us..xkm for you: pc+us+inet(evdev)+compose(rwin)+terminate(ctrl_alt_bksp)........English (US)
and /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/compose ?
I can no longer upgrade firefox beyond version 45
If this is because 11.3 doesn't include gtk3, would gtk3 and it's dependencies from 11.4 be compatible? Start with libgtk-3-0-3.0.0 .... for example from http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/discontinued/distribution/11.4/repo/oss/sus...
You should then be able to run the current Firefox.
