This is normally done with the halant key, which seems to correspond to 'g' in the Bangladesh/Bangladesh layout for the GNOME keyboard layout. However, this is with GNOME 2.24 on Ubuntu 8.10. GNOME 2.14 is rather old, and I cannot check which layout is used there. There should also be a "India Bengali" layout under India, which uses the Inscript standard that I am more familiar with. There, the halant key is 'd', so that ka + halant + ka == ক + ্ + ক == ক্ক would be input as 'kdk'.
