Bug#837690: gtk+3.0: incomplete compose table parsing and warning noise

Source: gtk+3.0
Version: 3.21.5-3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

gtk/gtkcomposetable.c::parse_compose_value expects to see double quotes,
and calls g_warning ("Need to double-quote the value: %s: %s", val,
line); if it doesn't find them.

However, per XCompose(5):

       The result specifies a string, keysym, or both, that the X client receives as input when the  sequence
       of events is input:
              "STRING" | keysym | "STRING" keysym

gtk doesn't handle the keysym case and spews warning noise instead.  The
parsing should get fixed, or at the very least the warning suppressed.

Cheers,
Julien
