This is what I want. To change only GTK programs' behaviour, since it
works perfectly fine for everything else.
I don't really know why GTK has to be different from anything else in
the world, defaulting ´+c to an accute 'c'. Winblows' US-International
keymap does c-cedilla. xim's default input method for us_intl defaults
to c-cedilla. (this is as far as my experience goes, but it seems like a
standard to me)

It's en_GB.UTF-8

Don't really want to mess around with these files. I really don't
understand why it should be so difficult to change the IM to default to
Cedilla, since it is already there! If only it was possible to change it
in all applications via context menu, it wouldn't be that annoying, but
it is particularly difficult to type in portuguese in programs like
iceweasel or icedove (which is my MUA, so imagine that)...

Thanks for your thoughts, but I'll look further ahead for a better
solution, if there is one.
I was also recommended to put 'LC_ALL=pt_BR' in /etc/environment. Are
there any side effects to this?
Thanks again.
Cheers,
