Description
This bug will occur on all unix systems (linux, solaris, etc.)  

keysymdef.h contains some keysyms for dead keys that are missing from 
the translation table in canvas.c.  I suspect that we need to add these 
in order to fix bugs such as 4420581.  

Here is some data from /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h 

#define XK_dead_grave                                   0xFE50
