I have prepared for supporting pt_PT in the same manner as pt_BR, and when doing so I learned some new stuff.
The default input method framework in Ubuntu is IBus, and as long as IBus is enabled, it's actually IBus which turns '+c to ç when LC_CTYPE is "pt_BR.UTF-8". Only when IBus is disabled, the libx11 package makes a difference. Consequently, to properly support pt_PT, both the ibus and the libx11 packages need to be changed. (A minor adjustment to language- selector will also be needed.) I created a new PPA, and uploaded modified (utopic) versions of ibus and libx11 there: https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/cedilla-portugal ** Package changed: gtk+2.0 (Ubuntu) => ubuntu ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Changed in: ubuntu Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) ** Package changed: ubuntu => ibus (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: libx11 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: libx11 (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: libx11 (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libx11 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/518056 Title: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c Status in central project for keyboard configuration: Confirmed Status in ibus package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in language-selector package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in libx11 package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: When typing in a US-international keyboard with dead-keys (or UK-international), typing 'c results in an accented c instead of a cedilla. There is a workaround, which is editing the /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodule-files.d/libgtk2.0-0.immodules file and changing the line "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale" "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa" to "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale" "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa:en" (add the 'en' at the end). However, every time some update on this file is applied, one looses the change, and we get back to the accented c. That means having to modify the file again, logout and login. For me this is no problem. But for my brother, mom, dad, etc, it is always something that at least makes me less proud of having convinced them to use Ubuntu, because they don't know what to do each time this happens. I think we really need a configurable keyboard layout, or at least (and that would be very easy), the inclusion of alternate layouts on install that for the dead-key options (as US-deadkey and UK-deakey), alternate layouts as US-deadkey-cedilla. This change is relevant for at least Portuguese and French.
