    heh. sorry for not having checked the archives. it was too surreal
    for me to experience to even think that this may happen twice. also,
    the machine in question is being really wicked lately.

    anyway, my problem appears way before I even get an xterm. it's
    already present in xdm. sucks if your login name contains one of the
    broken characters...

    nevertheless, I am using the us keymap, and XF86Config-4 is
    correctly configured. I also see it in the logs:

    (**) Option "XkbLayout" "us"
    (**) XKB: layout: "us"

    it's cool to have a workaround, but i think we need to fix the bug
    at a deeper level. what the heck is going on?

    and why 'c' and 'e'? sounds like a corruption of the keyboard map
    files to me. or something like that...

    cheers,
