This is definitely a permission problem: when run as a regular user, dead keys fail in every single Qt application I have installed, whether they depend on qt 4.5.1 or 3.3.8b. Then I try to run them as root, and dead keys suddenly work in every one of them!

Warning: after running some of these Qt applications as root I could not log into X anymore. At least not until I deleted some now root-owned .ICEauthority* files from my home directory.

Tests performed from the XFCE desktop of F10. I had no problem with F9. I am available for more testing (provided I can easily revert any side-effect this would have).
