At some point in the recent past, I seem to have lost the ability to enter Unicode values in GTK apps. (inc. Thunderbird & gvim) by holding <Ctrl+Shift> and entering the hex value. It seems to act as if <Shift>'s not held down (and yes, my Shift keys work).
This may have happened as part of upgrading from FC5 to 6; anyone any idea what to check?
I'm pretty sure that I had this working in FC6 not too long ago.
Not sure what's changed, but it no longer works for me either.

In Gnome, System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layout Options : Compose key position.

I wish I could find where this is documented, but my google-fu is failing me at the moment. But I do know that the input method changed somewhere around gnome 2.15. To enter a unicode character, just type ctrl+shift+u and then the hex value. (You don't have to keep c-s-u held while entering the hex value.)
