[Bug 19057] Re: Problem with dead keys, cannot write some accentuated characters with KDE apps

[Francis J. Lacoste]

I didn't have any problems with dead keys (French Canadian keyboard) but
they don't work anymore since I upgraded to Edgy. (I am running the
3.5.6 KDE packages. (The dead keys aren't working only in KDE/QT
applications.)

I have the following locale information:
LANG=
LC_CTYPE=fr_CA
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME=fr_CA
LC_COLLATE=fr_CA
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

I notice that if I start an application from konsole, I have the following messages:
QInputContext: no input method context available

If I start the application with LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8, the dead keys
works as expected. (I am using the ISO-8859-1 version of the locale, I
had to add it to /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local as by default only
UTF-8 version of the locale are generated.)
