  The "mu" code is already used by the Bépo's layout graphical
presentation, as visible here : http://bepo.fr/wiki/Accueil, when
putting your mouse cursor over the keyboard ; the dead letters are
shown with a red colour.

  We use the "mu" code for dead greek code as mu is a greek letter, the
only one available from the "standard" french keyboard ; Moreover,
using the dead_greek code with a space or with itself produces a "mu"
character, as defined in the libX11's patch :

+<dead_greek> <dead_greek>   : "µ"   U00B5    # MICRO SIGN
+<dead_greek> <nobreakspace> : "µ"   U00B5    # MICRO SIGN
+<dead_greek> <space>        : "µ"   U00B5    # MICRO SIGN


  Should I send an updated patch with this text appended in the
comment ?

	Thanks for the feedback,
		Fred.
