Description Miguel de Icaza 2005-09-11 00:29:04 UTC 
My gtk_key_theme is set to "Emacs" but the composer is ignoring this setting and
the keybindings are not Emacs-like.

This worked with Evolution 2.2
Comment 1 Miguel de Icaza 2005-09-11 00:37:57 UTC 
I overwrote one of the files in the GtkHTML distribution:

cp /opt/gnome/share/gtkhtml-3.8/GNOME_GtkHTML_Editor-emacs.xml
/opt/gnome/share/gtkhtml-3.8/GNOME_GtkHTML_Editor.xml

And that made Evolution start using the Emacs keybindings, but this should
probably be automatic.  Apparently the code in the HTML component is supposed to
care of this, but it is probably not correctly initialized:

from gtkhtml/components/html-editor/menubar.c:

        if (GTK_HTML_CLASS(G_OBJECT_GET_CLASS (cd->html))->use_emacs_bindings) {
                bonobo_ui_util_set_ui (uic, GTKHTML_DATADIR,
"GNOME_GtkHTML_Editor-emacs.xml", "GNOME_GtkHTML_Editor", NULL);
        } else {
                bonobo_ui_util_set_ui (uic, GTKHTML_DATADIR,
"GNOME_GtkHTML_Editor.xml", "GNOME_GtkHTML_Editor", NULL);
        }

So something is not setting the use_emacs_bindings variable properly somewhere.

This bug is also been reported in the Debian groups for a while:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=295641

And there are a few threads on Google about this issue.
