I'm trying to get dead keys to work in KDE (all the latest unstable 
packages, incl. xserver-xorg), but don't have any success. When I type 
<acute> followed by 'e', the first key stroke inserts nothing, the 
second inserts a plain 'e'. '`', '^', '~' are inserted immediately.

That behavior is specific to KDE apps. In xterm, say, dead keys, and 
compose as well, behave as expected. In the KDE control center I've set 
country to "Germany"; language is set to "US English".
