Error when using dead keys

[ghost]

Hi,

When I try to input e.g. accented letters using dead keys (“àéèêïîôù”, all very common in french) I get the following error:
Error: /usr/share/luakit/lib/lousy/bind.lua:286: bad argument #1 to 'wlen' (string expected, got nil)
stack traceback:
/usr/share/luakit/lib/lousy/bind.lua:286: in function 'hit'
/etc/xdg/luakit/window.lua:266: in function
[C]: in function 'xpcall'
/etc/xdg/luakit/window.lua:174: in function

I use 2012.09.13-r1.

This seem to be similar to #140 reported by eshizhan, although not specific to chinese characters.

Inputing the same letters using a direct key solves the issue, but this is only possible for those available in my keymap. I have no clue how dead keys are managed in luakit so any help would be great.

Cheers,
iouri
