I just did a fresh install of the system using the Herd 3 CD.
I chose the No locale option when installing, thus the system had no locale when I first logged in.
I updated the system completely, and the installed the necessary dbg and dbgsym packages. Only after that, I installed the language support for Esperanto and set it to be the default locale of the system.
I restarted the system, and gdm didn't crash, neither gedit, when trying to change the input method. Dead keys with xim input method were still not working, but I could change to "cedilla" input method.
Then, I purged the dbg and dbgsym packages. Gdm still worked, but gedit started to crash when I tried to change the input method, but generated no crash report in /var/crash. Xim still didn't work, it works only when I uncomment those lines in /usr/share/X11/locale files.
Sorry I couldn't help more.
I'm posting this comment in bug 84011 too, because it is still open.
