It's not really a "problem", it's more of an "issue". It hasn't been
implemented correctly yet. There have been some discussions on how to best
address this but all the proposals to fix things have met with skepticism
from one person or another. There is a thread in clt on the underline
problem that is raging right now.

I must admit that as time passes by, I'm getting a little bit edgier about
this because, even though the translations work fine, the bindings and
underlines are so badly broken that the translations become a hindrance more
than anything else. It'll be fixed soon, though. We just have to come up
with a proper scheme to do things. I also have to dig up some conversations
I had on the subject with Eric Melski and Mr. Takahashi.

Yeah, sucks rocks, really.

That may have something to do with the above. Is the keysym above the greek
"P"? My Greek is kinda rusty... :-)

Probably a bit.
