Unfortunately, the workaround does not anymore work in LTS Ubuntu 16.04 if you use an international keyboard with dead keys (and perhaps in other circumstances).

- Dead keys do not work in gnome terminal
- In gedit, dead keys work if gedit launched and opened a file from within gedit. When gedit is launched from double clicking a text file in explorer, dead keys do not anymore work.

This bug, which is about ibus disrupting the functioning of pretty much the only keyboard automation utility in linux is also topic of bug 1415203 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/autokey/+bug/1415203) which thus might be a duplicate
