Comment 16 for bug 71754

despite 'working as designed', this behaviour is still very annoying. one should not expect average users of an Ubuntu package to read upstream FAQs and fix an issue by manually editing config files when all they want is to actually _type_ a character in their native script (and not even some obscure rarely-used one).
why not include that one-liner fix in the package by default? I tend to disagree with W. Grant.
