I have noticed some GTK programs having this problem. They user
different input method by default. Try setting this environment
variable:
$ export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
Then start those problematic applications from the shell. If it works
you could set the variable in /etc/environment file or alternatively
install package "im-switch". Then run command
$ im-switch
and select "Use xim (default-xim)" from the menu. The next X session
will have that input method (xim) enabled for GTK and QT applications.
