I have this problem if I use XIM mode (I must export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"). A workaround is to use GTK_IM mode (which doesn't need export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM") for gtk applications. I have in my ~/.xsession (I use xdm): # SCIM # # XIM mode #export XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM" #export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim # # GTK_IM mode export GTK_IM_MODULE=scim # scim -d Bin > SCIM has been claiming deadkey support for quite a while, so I am > surprised that you still has this problem.
