libgnomekbd

Yesterday, as a possible act of suicide;), I finally
committed a huge chunk of libgnomekbd-related changes to
gnome-control-center and gnome-applets. Expecting a lot of
bug reports.

Next stop: gnome-screensaver.

xkeyboard-config

Nearly every time I work with modifier-related bugs, I have
2 seconds of real hatred to XKB-ignorant apps. Especially
and mostly emacs.

BTW, if someone is interested in next year’s Google Summer
of Code project ideas, here is a couple of good ones:

  • versatile protocol level debugger for X
  • putting traces into xkb code in Xorg: xkbcomp, X server,
    libxkbfile

  • valgrinding and unit testing of XKB code in Xorg
