Six months ago several participants on this forum discussed using various keyboard techniques to type Unicode glyphs into an OOo text. Users of recent Ubuntu versions like Edgy and Feisty discovered that it was possible to type in a glyph by first holding down «Ctrl + Shift + u», then typing the glyph's hex code, and finally pressing the space bar. After the Linux kernel update to 2.6.20-16, however, I find myself unable to use this technique, ...
I'm not sure how a kernel update would cause this, since it is a function provided by Gtk.
I don't know what Qt/KDE apps do, but regardless, this is a UI toolkit (or possibly X input) issue.
Try the Ctrl+Shift+u ... input in another Gtk application: Firefox or Gedit should work.
You can verify that all the proper keyboard events are getting through using the 'xev' utility from a command line (maybe Ubuntu does not include it).
