Bug Description

Hi,
after a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.10, ( and repositories proposed, and backports enabled ) , and a full update, it's impossible to use/type/write accented letters in Asturian languages. I've tested in other languages and this issue is not present.

If user choose Asturian language, and Asturian keyboard, it's impossible to type á,é,í,ó,ú, ü, ñ.

Steps to reproduce it:
1- Change language to Asturian
2- Change keyboard (Launcher-->System settings-->Text entry-->Asturian (Spain, with bottom-dot H and bottom-dot L).
3- Add it.
4- In the top panel, clic and select the text entry: Asturian
5- Open a .txt file, and try to type á,é,í, ó,ú, ü,ñ (it will doesn't work)

(if language system is another one, all keyboards works. If we choose Asturian, no one keyboard works, and is not possible to use accents)

I thought this bug was related to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1330041 but we think they are different issues. Anyway, this bug has high importance for Asturian users, because they can't write a document, search in browser or write an email properly.
