To clarify: As you know, I figured out how to add an alternative keyboard layout. What I don't know is how you would fix it in xkeyboard-config so the same dead key behaves differently depending on the letter.

One possibility which we haven't discussed is to use some *other* key for dead_cedilla, and leave the behavior of the dead_acute key as is. I see two problems with that, though:

1. No obvious dispensable key which could be used for the purpose.

2. It would be a brand new behavior for the users, and different from
   how it works on Windows.
