Comment #21 on issue 526 by francois.gombault: Dead keys (^`~ etc) don't
work in XIM programs
http://code.google.com/p/ibus/issues/detail?id=526
Similar issue for me : using ibus with urxvt, dead keys do nothing.
Mainly typing in French or English, recently switched to ibus for Chinese
because sunpinyin is very good.
With my layout, I use a few dead keys, mostly for French circumflex accent
(ê) and similarly "rare" letters (ï). Hitting twice on the dead circumflex
key should produce a ^, which I often use in regexps or programming.
I have in my .xsession
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export xmodifie...@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
Now from my experience :
* Dead keys DO WORK in Firefox, OpenOffice.org 3.2, KDE apps, gtk2 apps
* Dead keys DO NOT WORK in xterm, urxvt (my terminal of choice)
In urxvt, when I press a dead circumflex and then 'e', I simply get a
non-accented 'e'. In urxvt when I press dead circumflex twice, instead of
getting a '^', I get nothing.

On this layout, the dead circumflex is located under the physical Y. See
bepo.fr for reference.
