Summary: Fedora 15 LXDE: Canadian French KB layout - Dead keys
not working in QT app.

French input in QT apps using the "ca" KB layout
Description of problem:
Configuration: Linux, Fedora 15 LXDE. Language "en_US". Hardware keyboard
(notebook) "jp" (default). Additional keyboard layout "ca"
I use a the "ca" keyboard layout to type French language (iBus). The dead keys
"^" "¸" "`" are not recognized in applications using a QT
tool kit [Anki,
Puddletag, LyX, Scribus, etc.]
"ç" returns "¸c"
"à" returns "`a"
"è" returns "`e"
"ê" returns "^e"
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
IBus 1.3.99.20110714
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the "ca" input and keyboard layout in ibus [LXDE DE "en_US"]
2. Open a QT application (e.g. Anki)
3. Type some letters with accents using the dead key
Actual results:
"ç" returns "¸c"
"à" returns "`a"
"è" returns "`e"
"ê" returns "^e"
Expected results:
"ç"
"à"
"è"
"ê"
Additional info:
Canadian French layout is very similar to a JP/US KB layout. It relies mostly
on dead keys to input the accents.
Swiss-French layout has some keys inversion, and most of the accents are
assigned to letters.
Side note:
I had a similar problem on Fedora 13 with the Swiss-French keyboard layout,
see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=658090. The problem was only
the circumflex accent "^e". The problem has been resolved.
Since I experienced a similar problem on F-15, using a "ca" KB layout this
time, I have opened 2 bugs (722911) and upstream QT (
https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com//browse/QTBUG-20428). Kevin Kofler comment2,
bug 722911: "These bugs are usually caused by input methods" suggests it's
a
ibus issue and not a QT problem.
Thank you.

Configuration: Linux, Fedora 15 LXDE. Language "en_US".
Hardware keyboard
(notebook) "jp" (default). Additional keyboard layout "ca"
How do you configure the dead key for LXDE?
E.g. I use 'gnome-control-center region' on GNOME and systemsettings on KDE.
Also did you install ibus-qt which is required for qt applications?

Thank you very much for the print-screen and the ibus-qt plug-in hints!
ibus is part of the default LXDE Spin. when I installed QT applications from
the F-repo, the QT-4 config module, and other QT lib came along, as part of the
dependencies. I was assuming, somehow, ibus had automatically updated its
dependencies in the same fashion, and that something was broken. If it was not
your answer (comment #2), I would be still be wandering what/where to look for.
It was confusing because some KB layout with dead keys were working on QT apps
(e.g. the Swiss-French KB) while the CA KB wasn't.
You relieved me from a massive pain of 3 weeks, setting several language
inputs. Thanks again for all your comments.
To answer the first part of your question: I don't configure dead key on LXDE.
There is no equivalent as the "gnome-control-center" region on Gnome, or
systemsettings on KDE. When I need to switch between different KB layouts, I
look at "/usr/share/X11/xkb/base" for the options, and I modify the file:
/etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
with a setxkbmap command, in the following line before @lxpanel --profile LXDE
(e.g.):
@setxkbmap -option grp:switch, grp:rctrl_rshift_toggle jp,ca

Installing ibus-qt plug-in solved the problem of dead key accents not
recognized with a KB CA layout, in QT applications.
