Public bug reported:
This bug is really annoying in KDE 3.5.5, Kubuntu Edgy Eft (dist-
upgraded from Dapper).
The dead_circumflex and dead_diaeresis work in TTY terminals and in non-
KDE applications (like matlab or firefox), but not in any KDE
application.
Instead of putting a dead circumflex, it displays a circumflex as an
ASCII caracter : ^e instead of ê.
I did not have this probleme with Dapper and KDE 3.5.5. I tried to
change the xkb layouts and variants, but the dead_circumflex (and
dead_diaeresis) never worked in any KDE app under Kubuntu Edgy. I
finally disabled xkb management in the KDE Config Center but not with
more success ... Still this problem with dead_circumflex in KDE appps,
which is a lot used in french ...
