Subject:    [Kde-kant] Bug#30939: Dead keys stop working for us too

Both KDE 2.2.0 and 2.2.1 on Red Hat 7.0 and 7.1, respectively, have the 
same bug for us, and it is easy to reproduce:

 - Start Kate
 - Type something like x^2, works
 - Open a dialog, like File/Open
 - Close the dialog with Cancel
 - Typing x^2 produces x2, ie. dead keys don't work anymore

I wonder if this is related to the similar problem with a scientific 
software package called Matlab - on Linux the dead keys won't work at all 
when using XFree86 version < 4.x.x. It is even stated in their bug 
tracking database that the older XFree86 versions have that bug. It just 
so happens that we are using XFree86 3.3.6 here, because our graphics 
cards are not supported by the 4.x series yet.

Some system info: KDE 2.2.1 on Red Hat 7.1 with all the updates 
installed, XFree 3.3.6, kernel 2.4.3-12 on i686.
