Yes. No improvement in initial behavior and the configuration tool would crash on startup. I suspect that other things also need to be updated along with libxklavier. In any case, Kostik Belousov has reported half of the problem with fvwm2 which removes libxklavier from the equation for the CTRL-ALT combo. Looks like something in xorg. I might also mention that the LEDs for Caps and numlock don't work in 7.3, either. I don't know if this is related, but it's annoying and probably in the same area of te code. This has been mentioned in current, but I have only seen it in X They work OK in consoles. It's unclear how many of the reports in current have been in X, but I suspect that they all were. -- R.
