--- Comment #84 from Marko Myllynen myllynen@redhat.com 2009-11-03 11:20:37 EDT --- Thanks Jens, I've now tested your new packages on two test systems and the issue seems to be solved! I'll document some additional details below if someone happens to struggle with this one in the future.
After installing gtk2-immodule-xim and disabling any Input Method (if in use) one just needs to logout and login with an appropriate language and X compose sequences should thenbe in use also in GTK applications. User experience between GTK and non-GTK applications is now consistent.
In practice one can either choose an appropriate (native) language for the whole session at GDM login prompt (like Brazilian Portuguese or Finnish) which will set up LANG environment variable or adjust LC_CTYPE in a shell init script allowing use of a language like US English for the session but still having native compose sequences. The only limitation seems to be that one can't set LC_CTYPE per window basis but needs it for the whole session but I don't think that's a problem, really.
Should there be any issues still checking 'localeĀ“ output might give some clues as well as contents of ~/.dmrc.
