I don't think I can afford to recompile LyX right now (thesis in the works) but I can report that in K3B (a KDE app) I tried typing accents and discovered that all is not equal. In K3B, my keystroke r-alt ^ 0 results in a superscript zero, not a degree symbol.
I wasn't able to type a degree symbol in K3B but that was just that I didn't know the sequence, I think. In K3B at least it displays *something* for the r-alt ^ 0 sequence. Whereas LyX displays nothing. Does this give us more information? Cheers JP
