Hi,
I run SuSE 9.1 Pro. I've used Lyx for quite a while with a Spanish keyboard and an English overall locale, but now, after doing apt dist-upgrade and getting KDE 3.3.0 working, I can no longer type accents in Lyx: typing an accent plus a vowel gives exactly that: an accent plus a vowel, side by side. When I compiled from source, Lyx complained about not finding keyboard map iso8859-1 in ~/.lyx/preferences. This time, vowels + accents gave... nothing. I'm back to the SuSE rpm. I found the same problem in KWord, but not in OpenOffice nor in Abiword. Qt trouble? Trouble is, I use Lyx...
Thanks in advance,
Pablo Ortúzar
I have the same problem (SuSE 9.0, KDE 3.3.0). A partial solution is to set the keyboard layout to US English w/ ISO9995-3 in the Control Center Regional & Accessibility - Keyboard Layout). That gives (in Lyx) e.g. é and è, but not ë or ê (these still come out as ¨e and ^e). However, you will also lose all accents in all other programs...
An additional bit of information is that since the upgrade to KDE 3.3.0 Lyx has lost its accents also if I run it under any another window manager (Gnome, xfce4 or fluxbox).
