I'm using epoch 4.04 on a Sun 4 (SPARCstation keyboard) with X11.5.
I used xmodmap to setup the compose key (Multi_key) as a right-hand control
key--trying to avoid that RSI. This worked fine until we upgraded to
epoch 4.0.4 and now the Multi_key inserts a space when pressed--it works
as a control key after that while it is held down. Epoch is the only 
application I run that does this.

Any suggestions as to where to start looking?
Many thanks,
Steve
