Mario, I do agree that ",c" seems pretier to represent ç than 'c. However, ",c" 
cannot be typed
as a two stroke combination in a dead-key combination, obviously because the 
comma cannot
be a dead key. 

The only thing I would like to be pushing (I don't think my pushings are having 
any effect, as this
problem persists since I went on into linux for the first time) is to have the 
OPTION to chose
a keyboard layout in which 'c=ç, and what I am indeed argumenting is that for 
the absolute mayority
of people who would bother to use a US keyboard with dead keys, this is the 
option that is
useful.

It is very, very, frustating to hear arguments oposing to the fixing of this 
"bug", because its "fixing" does
not require breaking anything else if a new keyboard layout becomes available 
with this option,
within the set of tenths of layouts from which one already can chose when 
installing a linux box.

I don't think, as you, that any other option is "wrong", as I think people 
should use their computer
as they find confortable. In windows (which I do not use) I once could create a 
new keyboard
layout with a very easy to use application, and even distributed it. I needed 
that to create the
adequate behavior for portuguese in a UK keyboard. I think that is the way to 
go, and not to disminish 
the needs of other users for, I don't know, ahestetical reasons. This ç problem 
is not my problem
only, type "cedilha no ubuntu", you will find more than 7 thousand posts of 
people asking how
to solve this or giving partial solutions for every new ubuntu version. 
(cedilha linux gives
you almost 20 thousand posts - yes, I think all from Brazil).

The problem with multi-keys I am not aware about, and if that is a problem 
should be reported
as a different problem, anyway. And I don't agree that the multi-key solution 
is optimal, because
nobody remembers the combination of strokes of characters that are not used 
frequently. I'm 
not against the multikeys, but I think there should be a character table 
accessible from anywhere
in the system from which one could copy and paste any character to any 
application.
