I'm using stock xsrc with -current. /etc/XF86Config contains

Section "Keyboard"
    Protocol	"Standard"
    AutoRepeat	500 5
    XkbRules    "xfree86"
    XkbModel    "pc102"
    XkbLayout   "de"
    XkbVariant  "basic"
    XkbOptions  ""
EndSection

Kernel console driver is wscons.

When I enter ~ (as in : "cd ~martin/isdn") nothing happens: I have to press
the spacebar before the ~ character appears.

And, probably a side effect, I can't enter ~ at all in Netscape.

Is this locale related? Our libc locale stuff and X11 locale stuff doesn't
cooperate well (I have to choose: have elm work or get warnings from every
X11 program)

Do others experience the same?
