Same problem here: Fresh and clean install of Kubuntu (KDE4) 8.04 and tried the solutions from here, but no one worked.
But: I'm able to write "é ç" etc. with one of scim's input method. In scim setup under "FrontEnd/global setup" I chose for keyboard layout "German (with deadkeys)" and under "IMEngine/global setup" for installed input method service "Japanese" and "Other: English/European". After x-restart I was (and am) able to write "é ç" with CTRL+SPACE (Japanese) and then CTRL+SHIFT (English/European). I'm not able to write it without this method/default/without CTRL+SPACE (to trigger scim). -- KDE: Scim & Accented characters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/77168 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
