Hi,
I installed default F10 desktop, and all GNOME apps deal with localized chars such as 'é' as expected (I have a Brazilian ABNT2 keyboard). However, I run a couple of Qt apps (eg. Skype), and accent chars don't work as "dead keys" on them, eg. é comes out as 'e. I guess keyboard layout info is missing for Qt apps (xorg.conf doesn't have any keyboard configuration, and GNOME has its own configuration).
Is there any way to configure Qt apps without having to install KDE? Or should I put it directly on xorg.conf?
Regards,
Andre

This looks suspiciously like: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=468590

Thks for the pointer, indeed it looks like it. I'd rather not have to install 54M just to be able to input accented chars on KDE apps ;-) Also, if this is indeed a bug related to X11 keyboard driver, those 54M would probably be useless... =/
Rex: is kdebase-workspace really the only alternative? Isn't there any config file I could manually edit?
I'll add a comment on bug 468590 hoping it attracts some attention.
Below follows the list of apps that need to be installed in order to satisfy kdebase-workspace dependencies:
