JavaScript fails do fire onKeyPress (possibly other events related to keypress)
when typing accents using deadkeys (áéã,...). This problem is only related to
Linux (possibly other *nix - not tested). On Windows it works just fine.
The keyboard I noticed this problem is an US-Intl.
mozile is a good place to check it out, try to enter some accents using
deadkeys, it will not work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto http://teste.inexo.com.br/testcases/deadkeys.html
2. Type some normal chars
3. Then type some chars with accents (using deadkeys)

Actual Results:
The normal keys will be printed in the page and accents chars will not!

Expected Results:
Chars with accent to be printed (áéãê,...)
