I'm using stock xsrc with -current. /etc/XF86Config contains
Section "Keyboard"
Protocol "Standard"
AutoRepeat 500 5
XkbRules "xfree86"
XkbModel "pc102"
XkbLayout "de"
XkbVariant "basic"
XkbOptions ""
EndSection
Kernel console driver is wscons.
When I enter ~ (as in : "cd ~martin/isdn") nothing happens: I have to press
the spacebar before the ~ character appears.
And, probably a side effect, I can't enter ~ at all in Netscape.
Is this locale related? Our libc locale stuff and X11 locale stuff doesn't
cooperate well (I have to choose: have elm work or get warnings from every
X11 program)
Do others experience the same?
