Comment 60 for bug 92652

It is an annoying problem indeed. The issue is that a lot of people in
Brazil, for example, use the ABNT-2 layout, where a separate cedilla C key
exists. Everyone else was dropped in the middle of the road with this
change.

I have a quick workaround to fix it. Just cut and past the lines below and
restart your gnome apps:

$ sudo perl -ani.bak -e 's/\xc4\x87/\xc3\xa7/g; s/\xc4\x86/\xc3\x87/g;
print' /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose

$ sudo perl -ani.bak -e 'if (m/^"(cedilla)" "(.*?)" "(.*?)" "(.*?)"
"(.*?)"/o) { print "\"$1\" \"$2\" \"$3\" \"$4\" \"$5:en_US\"\n" } else {
print }' /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodule-files.d/libgtk2.0-0.immodules

Note: Those are *TWO* lines. Merge them back if your mailer breaks them.
