If I hold right alt and press e, I get "é".  If I then release right alt
and press e, I get "e".  But, if I hold right alt and press e multiple
times, the e key gets "stuck" to whichever choice I last released on.  I
can fix by getting stuck on unadorned e.

That behavior is identical under fvwm.

But - something about loading keymaps is confusing E in a bad way.
While xmodmap runs, I see no screen updates.  Each time I run xmodmap,
loading takes longer.  I get some errors like this:

ERR<2190>:ecore_x lib/ecore_x/xlib/ecore_x.c:305 _ecore_x_modifiers_get() ALTGR conflicts with other modifiers. IGNORE ALTGR

Just in case, I did "xmodmap -pke > ~/my.xmodmap" first, and then ran it
out of my history.  Only need backspace to turn that into a load. :)
