@Leandro:
You can't be possibly serious about this.  I write in many languages, and need 
to be able to enter <accented c> (don't know currently how to do this, other 
than copy-pasting it from another text), and I need to write it often.  And 
there are millions who do need <accented c>.  I don't care whatsoever if there 
is an additional tweaked version of UK/US keyboard layout (which can be even 
the default) where you have a generic_dead_character at the place of 
dead_accute, which together with C produces ç (I can't believe I have just 
typed <accent> and <c>), but overriding <accent>+<c> = cedillad c for all 
possible input layouts is simply unacceptable.  Accent+C -- as it says -- is 
accented C.  How can this be even argued?!  This is ridiculous and very 
frustrating.

Or if it is not done this way, how come on compose-type accents
(obviously I am using compose-type dead accents, since I need many
accents), where there is seperate dead cedilla, accuted C still comes
out as ç??

Title:
  cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c

Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  When typing in a US-international keyboard with dead-keys (or 
UK-international), 
  typing 'c results in an accented c instead of a cedilla.

  There is a workaround, which is editing the

  /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodule-files.d/libgtk2.0-0.immodules

  file and changing the line

  "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale"
  "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa"

  to

  "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale"
  "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa:en"

  (add the 'en' at the end).

  However, every time some update on this file is applied, one looses the 
change,
  and we get back to the accented c. That means having to modify the file again,
  logout and login.

  For me this is no problem. But for my brother, mom, dad, etc, it is always 
something
  that at least makes me less proud of having convinced them to use Ubuntu, 
because
  they don't know what to do each time this happens.

  I think we really need a configurable keyboard layout, or at least (and that 
would
  be very easy), the inclusion of alternate layouts on install that for the 
dead-key
  options (as US-deadkey and UK-deakey), alternate layouts as 
US-deadkey-cedilla.

  This change is relevant for at least Portuguese and French.
