OK, now that you made me test some more, I noticed the same happens in
other apps, too: Nautilus (only in the address bar, not when renaming
files), generic Open/Save As dialogs, Tomboy, GRAMPS ... So I suppose
you are right and this is a gtk bug.

Before that I’d had no problems in OOo, firefox, gnome-terminal,
evolution. Shortly after upgrading to Intrepid, noticing that I could
not use gedit properly, and filing the bug, I changed my default input
method to scim. But it can be tested regardless: Start the application
with LANG=eo.UTF-8, right-click in the text area, set the input method
to X Input Method, and type anything on your keyboard that is not Ascii,
e.g. umlauts or any of the standard third level chooser combinations.

I’m not sure the locale eo.UTF-8 exists as of default in intrepid, on
hardy I had to create it (see this bug:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/langpack-locales/+bug/23435) by

sudo localedef -f UTF-8 -i eo eo.UTF-8

You might have to do that to reproduce the bug.
