Keybindings using the windows hotkeys stop keys working when typing normally

[mcalamelli]

Using the en_GB keymap set in xorg.conf on a cvs build of enlightenment.orgom the small hours of this morning, any keybinding that uses the windows hotkey will stop the key that is used with it from working when typing normally in an application and the shortcut will not work. For example if win + R is set as a hotkey to start the run dialogue, then the "r" key will no longer work in typing on xchat or firefox but can be used in entrance and also in the run dialogue box if opened by clicking on the background and selecting "run". Also, no more keybindings can be added that use the windows hotkey because when I push and hold the windows key in order to start creating the shortcut then the shortcut creation stops and the newly added shortcut says "keycode-115". Note that keybindings worked perfectly for me when I was using the US keymap (the default on the new installation) and only stopped working when I switched to the uk keymap.

reproduceable: as far as I can tell, always.

I have just downloaded and installed e17 from CVS (2008/07/03). I also updated to the latest CVS as of today (2008/07/04) with no change in behaviour.

I built the minimum stuff from source from CVS as instructed on the wiki. Along the way I had to rebuild evars with --enable---somethin-eet-loader and also ecore with ecore-evas support

Eventually I got something that loads.

Today, after I updated from CVS I went through and re "make install"ed everything in order.

I am starting up xterm in my .xsession and then issuing enlightenment_start from within that so I can test everything.

I notice that when enlightenment is running I can't use the "g" key on my keyboard. Everything else that I've tried works, including "G". Having dug around in bugzilla, I seem to have similar symptoms this one. If I stop enlightenment then the "g" key works again in the terminal.

"g" works in some places within e17. It works in the "Run Command" dialog. It doesn't work in textboxes.

If I load up gnome-terminal the cursor flashes when I press "g". xmodmap doesn't detect it.

I'm using the default keybindings and I don't seem to have anything involving "g".

I didn't set up any language settings but having done so there is no change. I'm now using en_GB.ISO-8859-1 in the enlightenment "Language Configuration" panel.

My distro is Fedora Core 6 with e17 built from source.
