Hi there,

I already posted this on the forum but no answers. This is from the forum:

"Hello fellas,

I got a small issue here (hopefully it is a small one). My mom sometimes uses a xnest session if my sister is already logged in because she doesn't want to close running apps.

When she writes an email she is stuck at the point where an '@' is inserted in the middle of an email adress. As you can see right now when logged in the normal way (like I am now) there's no problem with '@'. Only when you log into an xnest you can't use '@' anymore.

The computer is set to German on default with 'export LANG=de_DE@euro' in /etc/profile. I don't know if this might be of relevance.

Please help - my mom is getting mad at me No, not really, but it would be nice to have Xnest running the right way and not the highway.

Ty!

mic"



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a normal user session. The '@' character works.
2. Open a xnest session in the already running session
3. Open any app where you can type something in, e.g. mailclient or a terminal
4. Try typing '@' - it doesn't work

Actual Results:  
'@' can't be typed

Expected Results:  
'@' can be typed

Xnest isn't gnome, it's Xfree. Please do not assign bugs directly, let bug-wranglers find a home.
