Hello,

Thanks for the answer it solved my problem (and I am going to subscribe 
to fr.comp.lang.ada).

If English readers are interested here is a rough translation of the 
(French) previous post:

1- close GPS

2- Open Gnome Keyboard properties:
   under GNOME : (System => Preferences => Keyboard)
   under another WM : $ gnome-keyboard-properties

3- Select the "Layout" tab & click on the "Layout Options" button. A 
window opens

4- In the new window unfold "Using space key to input non-breakable 
space character"
& select "Usual space at any level"

5- Close the two windows

6- restart GPS


Thanks again,
Mathieu
