= Steps to reproduce
=================

1. Use “im-config” to select “xim” as input method. It will change your “~/.xinputrc” file to define “xim” as selected method.

= Expected behavior
================

1. You should be able to use your “~/.XCompose” sequences in any program inside Ubuntu.

= Current behavior
===============

1. Your “XCompose” sequences won't work anywhere inside the Chromium window, and any input in Chromium will behave sometimes as the standard input (“ibus”, if I recall correctly), other times it will ignore dead keys completely (apostrophe, quotes and grave have no effect).

1.1. I say “sometimes” because I couldn't figure out what makes/when it behave in any of the two ways. But both are wrong anyway, so it does not really matter. Other programs I've tried so far (gedit, firefox and others) work correctly all the time, i.e., I can normally use my XCompose escape sequencies as expected.

= Rationale
=========

As of now, I need “XCompose” sequences in order to type special characters and diacritics easily and correctly, for portuguese. As it happens, the standard input does not provide an easy way to type c-cedilla (ç), as the input sequence (apostrophe-c) ends with a c-acute (ć) instead.

Therefore, I'd like Chromium to behave as the other programs do, i.e., using “xim” as the input method.
