Comment 16 for bug 77168

Same problem here with up-to-date Kubuntu 8.04.1. I want to use skim, but it breaks my dead keys with Turkish keyboard layout. Those wanting to revert to old (scim/skim-less) behavior can do the following: rather than changing environment variables, doing "sudo update-alternatives --config xinput-all_ALL" and selecting "/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default" seems to revert the input method to default. Selecting "/etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/skim" brings the scim back, along with the dead-keys problem. Killing X seems to be necessary for this change to take effect, so it's no practical workaround.
