Remove DirectFB dead keys management (2.35 KB, patch)
2008-07-19 10:20 UTC, Josselin Mouette 		committed Details | Review

Description Josselin Mouette 2008-07-19 10:17:25 UTC 
Since version 0.9.26, DirectFB has its own layer to manage dead keys. Therefore, the code in GDK to handle it is useless and worse, make dead keys stop working.

Remove DirectFB dead keys management

Here is a proposed patch by Jérémy Bobbio in <http://bugs.debian.org/394871>. Note that I have not checked whether it works since I don’t use the DirectFB backend myself.
Comment 2 Sven Neumann 2009-02-16 19:42:10 UTC 
We should depend on DirectFB 1.0.0, not some pre-1.0 version.

I would have comitted this change, but the whole tree does not compile at the moment (talking about gtk+ trunk). So we should try to get that fixed first. I am not going to commit changes into a tree that does not even compile.
Comment 3 Sven Neumann 2009-02-18 17:45:02 UTC 
I have applied this change to trunk and to the gtk-2-14 branch:

2009-02-18  Sven Neumann  <sven@gimp.org>

	Bug 543710 – Dead keys do not work anymore with DirectFB

	* gdk/directfb/gdkkeys-directfb.c (gdk_directfb_translate_key):
	applied patch from Josselin Mouette that removes special handling
	of dead keys as that is done by DirectFB for a long time already.

2009-02-18  Sven Neumann  <sven@gimp.org>

	* configure.in: depend on DirectFB >= 1.0.0. There's no point in
	using an earlier development version.
