           Summary: The "de" keyboard layout doesn't work properly in all
                    KDE applications (de_DE.iso885915 euro)
           Product: i18n
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: de
        AssignedTo: thd kde org
        ReportedBy: tobias.leupold web de


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I have configured my keyboard as "de" with the "dead keys" enabled. So, I should be \
able to type in characters like "é" or "ñ". This works properly at the login dialog \
from kdm and also in the xterm window, Firefox and Thunderbird (which are afaik \
native von Gnome), but not in the KDE applications. It doesn't work, even if I set \
the keyboard layout one more time to "basic", which means that the "dead keys" are \
enabled, by the KDE control center.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set the keymap to "de" without "nodeadkeys"
2. Try to type in é, è, ê, ñ, etc. in a KDE application (like kwrite)

Actual Results:  
the "'"-Character won't work at all, so typing in "`e" will result in "e"
the other accents (`, ^, ~) will be displayed at once, so typing in e.g. "^e"
will result in "^e" displayed instead of the expected "ê"

Expected Results:
typing in "'e" --> "é", "^e" --> "ê", etc.

It seems that the LANG variable causes the problem. I have set the LANG variable to \
'de_DE.iso885915 euro'  When I set it to 'de_DE.utf8', I am able to type in the \
accented keys (but sometimes other problems occur with the German Umlaute like ä, \
ö, etc.).
