Make sure that the key you designated as the multi-key really does return t= hat keysym! My ~/.Xmodmap contains: ! Use the right windows key as the Multi-key. keycode 0xffec =3D Multi_key Multi_key ! Use the left windows key as the Meta toets keycode 0xffe7 =3D Meta_L Use xev(1) to check what symbols the different keys really generate. Then e= dit ~/.Xmodmap to suite your taste and call 'xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap' to apply the changes. Make your X startup repeat that to make the changes permanent.
