Input Method
In one of my KDE installations (latest unstable) dead keys for composing
characters with diacritical marks such as accents do not work *in KDE
applications*.
Say, when I try to enter an accented character in the Subject line in
KMail, I get this
<acute accent> + a -> a
<grave accent> + a -> `a
When I select "Simple Composing Input Method" for the Subject line, I
get the results I want. But that setting does not stick and it ought to
work with XIM anyway; at least it does in KDE on another machine.
Also, when I run xterm within KDE, there dead keys work as intended.
Obviously there must be some difference between my two machines, it's
just that I can't find the relevant difference in their KDE/X
configurations.
Any hints?
