How to change the default GTK input method?

Hi list,

I have been working around this situation for a while, but it is
sometimes very annoying.

Here is the problem. I am brazilian, but hate brazilian ABNT2 keyboards,
and have had a US one for many years. Since always, I have typed ´ + c
(accute accent + c) to produce a c with a cedilla. There has been a
point in GTK development, though, when the default character for this
sequence has turned to a c with an accute accent.

I have read some fervorous discussions of a brazilian user with a GTK
dev about this, and the dev states that ´+c should logically output a c
with an accute accent, and that producing a c-cedilla is not that
obvious for this sequence.

In my opinion, the guy does have a point. But it is still very annoying.
In some GTK apps, I can get a context menu with an 'Input method'
option, where I can choose 'Cedilla' and voilà! It works!

But only for that app, and only until I close it.

Soooo, my question is: is there a way I can set my DEFAULT input method
to this cedilla thing, and never have to worry about accenting a c again?

Obs: I run two systems. One is pure lenny, and the other is lenny/sid
(although I am trying to keep it lenny only).

I do appreciate any insights on this matter.

Cheers!
