What Debian and Gnome versions are you running? Did you set LC_ALL=pt_BR? What happens when you try to type accented characters?
I am running a fairly complex Gnome 2.4 multilingual environment on sid using pt_BR.ISO-8859-1, pt_BR.UTF-8, ja_JP.EUC-JP and ja_JP.UTF-8, and everything works great with GTK apps. In fact, one of the main reasons that made me switch to Gnome was exactly the superb input handling - I can switch from writing Japanese to writing Portuguese without restarting apps, something I could do only in Emacs. The gnome-terminal is especially good because it allows switching character sets. -- Leonardo Boiko http://quarto128.homeunix.net:128
