yakuake does not respect my keyboard settings anymore

[Patola]

I don't know what happened, but for years I have a setup with two keyboard settings: English (international AltGr dead keys) and English (US, international with dead keys). They worked OK in yakuake. In the last few days, however, an update likely broke this keyboard setup in yakuake. All the environment variables are the same as before, but suddenly yakuake will not accept my Alt-Gr modifier key to accentuate letters. I am using yakuake-2.9.9-3 and reverted temporarily to yakuake-2.9.9-2 to see if it would solve the issue, but it didn't. So it might be due to an update in another component of KDE or QT, not necessarily yakuake. Accents work OK in Konsole though, AFAIK yakuake is the only application affected by this.

I just tested yakuake on KDE (I was running it under Unity). In KDE the Yakuake accentuation works normally. Logging out again then logging in into Unity, Yakuake accentuation does not work.

Also: I tried exiting yakuake (from its menu, and ensuring it wasn't running) and calling it again with some changed environment variables.
first export QT_IM_MODULE=xim
then export QT_IM_MODULE=cedilla

These do not seem to have any effect.

Well, go figure. I found out that ibus-daemon was not starting. If I start it with my unity session, it works ok. I have not taken ibus off session start, it seems it just stopped running.
