Could you please detail your problem? What Debian and Gnome versions are
you running? Did you set LC_ALL=pt_BR? What happens when you try to
type accented characters?
I am running a fairly complex Gnome 2.4 multilingual environment on
sid using pt_BR.ISO-8859-1, pt_BR.UTF-8, ja_JP.EUC-JP and ja_JP.UTF-8,
and everything works great with GTK apps. In fact, one of the main
reasons that made me switch to Gnome was exactly the superb input
handling - I can switch from writing Japanese to writing Portuguese
without restarting apps, something I could do only in Emacs. The
gnome-terminal is especially good because it allows switching
character sets.
