Call character_to_event on characters received from XIM, event-Xt.c src/ChangeLog addition: 2009-12-17 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea@parhasard.net> * events.h (character_to_event_meta_behavior): New enumeration, describing what character_to_event should do with characters in the range ?\x80-?\xFF, and passed as the third argument to character_to_event instead of the binary use_console_meta_flag. * events.c (character_to_event, Fcharacter_to_event): * event-unixoid.c (read_event_from_tty_or_stream_desc): * event-stream.c (maybe_kbd_translate, maybe_kbd_translate): * event-msw.c (mswindows_need_event): Use the new enumeration. * event-Xt.c (x_to_emacs_keysym): Call character_to_event when we receive XLookupChars events, passing latin_1_maps_to_itself as the meta_behavior flag, addressing the problem FKtPp sees in 87bpi9mwpu.fsf@yahoo.com.cn
