us intl keymap not working in kde

[Martin Adler]

Binary package hint: kdebase

Switching from gusty to hardy destroyed something in kdebase. It could have been the switch to xorg 1.4 aswell.

Symptoms are similar to #69045. That means, that there seam to be no dead key listener to create umlauts or accents on letters. For example, to make a umlaut A, you would push double qoutes and A, but my state is that hitting double qoutes produces this ¨. This happend to me before but only if I hit double qoutes twice. So it is not waiting for a space to form the normal double qoutes either.

The keys work normally in gtk apps running in the KDE session (as for example firefox).

This has something to do with qt3 I believe since entering these characters produces the following in .xsession-errors:

Above errors has nothing to do with it. They appear with every program started and are related to another bug.

[Fabián Rodríguez (magicfab)]

I have the problem, even in GTK apps. Running an updated Hardy a5.

[Fabián Rodríguez (magicfab)]

Confirming this as high.

This same problem has recently cropped up on an Intrepid system, where perfectly working deadkeys disappeared. System settings are for GB INTL layout.

[Harald Sitter (apachelogger)]

The issue on Intrepid was most likely caused by a kbd profile breakage in Xorg.

Is the original issue still a problem on Hardy? If so, which KDE version.
If KDE 4 -> please try with 4.1.2 and/or Intrepid Beta (livecd for example).

Hi, I report the same problem on Intrepid system (upgraded from Hardy).
I normally use us-intl layout on both gnome et kde environment. Previously, everything was working fine on Hardy.
The problem is also present in all the applications from kde 3.5.10 and 4.1.3.

[nick (nickspacca)]

Hi, I still have the same problem as presented before, also after upgrading to Jaunty. If you need more info, please tell me...

[Diego Schulz (dschulzg)]

any news on this issue?

I'm having this problem using KDE 4.3.1

[Diego Schulz (dschulzg)]

still having this problem in 4.3.2

[Harald Sitter (apachelogger)]

So I went to systemsettings -> regional stuff -> keyboard layout and set the layout to us intl (command: setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us -variant intl).
Then I go to the address bar in Konqueror -> press " -> press a -> and ä comes out.

So, now I am wondering. Does this issue still affect Kubuntu 9.10? If so, how exactly would I go about reproducing it?

Some general thoughts: it might still not be working on an upgraded 9.10 if there is some issue in a configuration file, on the other hand the issue might also be related to the keyboard hardware, which I find very unlikely but worth mentioning :)
