Comment 98 for bug 518056

1) Windows -> US International + Br.PT -> '+c = ç
2) Windows -> US International + EN.US -> '+c = 'c
3) Ubuntu -> US International + Br.PT -> '+c = ć
4) Ubuntu -> US International + EN.US -> '+c = 'c
My expectation would be to have the behavior #1 == #3 across the whole
environment, i.e., terminal, gedit, libreoffice...

Previous versions and flavors don't need to be fixed, IMHO.
Focus on the next release because we already have workarounds for the
previous releases.

Regards
