This may be reasonable. The problem seems to be introduced in
GTK+ 2.14, as GTK+ 2.12 on Debian sid doesn't have this problem.
And after checking the source, I find an extra step in the key
event filtering, where European dead key sequences are always
assumed, which is not the case for Thai. I'll try to verify if it's the
real culprit.
