I would like to add some information to the bug description.
The problem seems to be in the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gr file. In the
latest version the lines :
key AC10 { [dead_acute,dead_horn] };
key AC11 { [dead_grave,dead_ogonek] };
have been changed to :
key AC10 { [dead_acute,dead_psili] };
key AC11 { [dead_grave,dead_dasia] };
Linguistically speaking, this is the right thing to do.
But one must, also, correct accordingly the
/usr/share/X11/locale/el_GR.UTF-8/Compose and the
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose files.
The credit for showing the above is Simos' (

It seems that you filed this bug three times. I'm closing the
duplicates with this message.
Cheers,
