Package: gnome-applets-data
Version: 2.6.2.1-1

Could the default US xmodmap please define the same CTRL+ALT key
combinations for creating international characters (i.e. high-bit
Latin-1 glyphs) that Windows uses? (The xmodmap files for others locales
could also follow the Windows conventions for those locales.)

I think this would make Linux just a bit more attractive to desktop
users, who, when they ask "how do I make an u-umlaut / e-acent /
n-tilde?", probably don't appreciate the answer "just go mess with your
xmodmap file!"
