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
