[Bug 173864] [NEW] Accents and umlauts don't work in KDE apps with some catalan locales

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

In catalan language we've more than one locale in order to cope with
some minor variants and/or catalan being spoken across 4 countries.
Specifically, we have:

ca_ES.UTF-8
ca_ES.UTF-8 at valencia
ca_AD.UTF-8
ca_FR.UTF-8
ca_IT.UTF-8

Well, some users are reporting that in Kubuntu GUTSY with LANG variable
set to any of the locales above listed, except the first one, keyboard
dead keys (accents and umlauts) are not working properly within KDE/Qt
applications, while Gnome/Gtk apps work well.

This bug is easy to reproduce opening a konsole window and manually
setting and exporting the "LANG" variable to any locale of the above
list and then invoking some kde application (e.g. Kate) from within the
konsole:

export LANG=ca_AD.UTF-8
kate

It can be easily noted that deadkeys only work with first locale.

So this problem is solved using always the first locale, but I don't
consider this a "fix".
