           Summary: luks password dialog not accepting compose-key
                    characters
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: 4.6
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdelibs-bugs@kde.org
        ReportedBy: pvdkloet@hotmail.com


Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

My luks partition is on an external drive, encrypted with a passphrase. This
passphrase has some special characters in it, say á or ë.
When trying to unlock this partition, the mounting fails if I type the password
manually into the dialog box, typing the special characters using the compose
key. However, if I paste this password into the dialog it works.

I've tried it several times and I'm sure I'm not typoing.


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a passphrase with special characters on your luks partition
2. Try to mount it in KDE
3. Type the passphrase inside the Password dialog, using the compose key to
type the special characters. Compose key gets ignored.

Actual Results:  
luks partition doesn't get mounted, error is:
org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Failed: Error unlocking device: cryptsetup exited
with exit code 2: No key available with this passphrase.

Expected Results:  
Mount the luks partition
