Muito obrigado pela sua atenção, Felipe,

But, I'm pretty sure that X is set up for US-Intl (with dead keys),
because I can make all the other marks in fluxbox.
à ô é ã ë ç etc.
It's just stuff that uses the alt-key (¿ ¡ ® )that doesn't work in fluxbox,
including on my other machine, which is using Linguas OS (PCFluxboxOS
based translators distro), in which I chose US-Intl with dead keys 
during installation.
On both, alt-whatever works in KDE.

The more I use flux, the more I like it, with the exception of this 
little issue.
I mean, if I run gnome-system-monitor, or top, in KDE, then in Flux,
I can see that there are about 3 times as many processes running in KDE.
Flux is light, elegant, quick...I dig it.

Maybe I should try the new US-Intl (without dead keys), but, then I will 
have
to learn how to type all over again...
The problem is, I have to be able to type in four different languages.
Então, não posso usar o teclado brasileiro, só.

You mention bug#...., but there is no number...
Is it a ubuntu bug, a fluxbox bug?
Where is it?

um abraço
