   (Disclaimer: current/startx/xmodmap/wmii faction)  That's what I found.   
   I understand we are looking for 'paragraph'.  Grepping through keymaps   
   shows 'paragraph' (for de-kind, fr-kind are ignored) at 'keycode = 4'   
   only with "de_alt_UTF-8" (I have no idea how it will manifest in those   
   choosers or whatever).  And even then "Alt-" or "Ctrl-Alt-" modifiers   
   are required.  I have _no reasons_ to believe you don't know what you're   
   doing.   
      
   Thus.  My interpretation:  keymap (you've been using) has changed its   
   ways (because reasons);  now you have to live through it.
