Comment 46 for bug 184472

Same problem here, with Slackware and KDE 4.8.2.

Only, I noticed something different too: I frequently use the
compose key (spanish locale), and that functionality _also_ stops working.
This is very annoying, as it alwys stops at the moment I most need it (Murphy's Law).

I don't actually use KDE as window manager (I use XFCE), but Slackware is KDE
based and running some kde programs starts the kdeinit4 daemon.
Another strange thing: I can re-enable Compose, using xmodmap, but it
stops working again after a random time.

I very much suspect both problems (LED and Compose) are related. Does anyone
using Compose notice this?
