Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: emacs-snapshot
Using fully updated Hardy Heron.
Emacs does not recognize the dead keys in the us-intl keyboard layout.
SCIM is running and all other applications respond well to the keyboard.
Here, in Firefox, for example, I can type “résumé” without any issues.
In Emacs, however, I try to type “résumé” and I get:
r<ERROR>esum<ERROR>e
Where <ERROR> is Emacs sounding the system bell and claiming that
“<dead-acute> is undefined”. This means that I have to type very
differently for Emacs compared to the rest of the applications on the
system, and if I want to type characters such as é, è, ë, or ē, I have
to do so in another application.
Related: Characters such as ç do not work either. If I enter ç
(level3+,), Emacs treats it as a command of some sort. The next two
characters are then combined with the ç command and turned into a
pictograph of some sort.

(The version that I am using at present is the Ubuntu release, plus the
Xft fix on bug 197366 – however, the problem is present without that Xft
fix, too, and the Xft fix is definitely in a different part of the code
than this issue is in.)
