Problem with keyboard layout US int. with dead keys in latest Tumbleweed

Hi, since one of the latest upgrades of Tumbleweed, the system, using KDE, does not give me the special characters that are made using dead keys. I tried the two versions of keyboard US international, but both do not give me these special characters, at least not when typing this message in KMail, in the konsole and in lokalize. I can get these characters in Firefox. My workaround is using the application Special Characters, but this is only a workaround. Anybody having the same problem? Solution? -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf
