When I run gedit as in your first example and try to type an accented character, it doesn't work, and the following is sent to stderr: ** (gedit:2441): WARNING **: Error converting text from IM to UTF-8: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input ** (gedit:2441): WARNING **: Error converting text from IM to UTF-8: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input (it is printed twice.) There were two additional changes that I had made and forgotten about; /etc/profile.local sets LANG and LC_COLLATE to C. My apologies for forgetting about this. When I run gedit like this: env XMODIFIERS=@im=local GTK_IM_MODULE=xim LANG=en_US gedit accented characters are possible. So this may all be my fault. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
