--- Comment #2 from Joni Yrjana joyr@netikka.fi 2009-04-01 12:08:54 EDT --- Thanks, the output of those commands led me in right direction (.xinputrc points to scim configuration), rebooting once more helped.
When I noticed that the dead-keys were not working, I tried to log out and back in, it didn't help. Then I created a new user and switched to that user, dead-keys were not working with that new user neither. Then I rebooted and that didn't help. Then I removed all the scim packages and rebooted, that didn't help. Then I re-installed the scim packages and rebooted, then for a while the dead-keys were working, but I had gotten the scim tray-icon which was new to me so I tried to quit it, it crashed and my dead-keys went back to no-working condition. Rebooting after that solved the problem, I guess just logging out/back in would have also.
Between all the steps above I messed with the keyboard settings, and at some point the .xinputrc link had been made (see the timestamp of the file). My newly created user account doesn't have the .xinputrc -link and dead-keys are not working with that user. My current user and that user have both been created with the adduser -command. The same problem happens (no .xinputrc) if using the GUI tool to add a new user and dead-keys are not working for the new user.
Below is the requested information even though it's now working, the only difference between these and with the non-working users is the missing .xinputrc link from the non-working users. $ xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES_BACKUP(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "fi", "", "" _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "evdev", "fi", "", "" $ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= $ imsettings-list * 1: SCIM (recommended) $ ls -l ~/.xinputrc lrwxrwxrwx 1 joyr joyr 33 2009-03-31 22:27 /home/joyr/.xinputrc -> /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim.conf $
