Bonjour,

I have problem with dead keys (^ and ¨) on my French azerty keyboard in
emacs.

These keys do not work: ^a gives a instead of â.

This problem happens in emacs and is *not* an emacs config problem for
other users on the same machine do not have this problem.

I tried after disabling .emacs and .Xresouces files. Problem is still there.


I have these messages in my .xsession-errors:

Which may indicate the source of the problem, but I don't know how to
read these messages.


Thanks for any clue.
