Bug Description

My us international keyboard works fine except in kde application like kwrite or basket note pads. Then it dies.

Normally: ' + e will give é. Under the Kde application the ' is simply ignored.

I have the QT properties set to xim for input, but that really shouldn't affect the us intn'l keyboard (should it?).

I have no idea how to set KDE keyboard setting under Gnome!

Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
Release: 10.04

They describe kde problems which are probably mine. But how would can those changes be made under gnome?

Now it is working. I'm not sure what fixed it, but here are a few factors:

I set:
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF8

I put the international keyboard as the default keyboard.

I installed qt-ibus support, and set ibus input method to none (not xim).

My bet is that the LC_ALL=en_US.UTF8 would have been sufficient, (with qt input settings at scim-bridge?)
