Arne, please try to figure out this issue on xterm rather than gnome-terminal
unless you bring it up with GTK_IM_MODULE=xim explicitly. it uses a different
path for input by default. so it's pointless to say "it works on gnome-terminal
but not on java app". if it works but not on other X apps, please mention that.
I'm keen to fix it and improve a compatibility..

> this bug never happened before the update at 2009-03-03...

Hmm, I don't think the update introduced this issue because if it worked,
keyevents got stuck. there may be any reasons your input didn't passed through
libgxim and it just looked like working perhaps. dunno.

I can't tell you by the off hand though, if it matches any key sequences in
XKB, it's likely to not appear what you type.

Yes, please. correctly any places where's before gnome-session is running would
be good. and yes.
just do export LIBGXIM_DEBUG=all
please note that you'll see a lot of debugging message in .xsession-errors. I'd
recommend you to turn off that after you finished to gather information.
