Hi Sergey, (In reply to Sergey V. Udaltsov from comment #2) > Is there a patch for xkeyboard-config?
Well, there is, sort of, in my PPA. https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/cedilla-test/+packages But that patch simply turns the <dead_acute> key into a <dead_cedilla> key, and it turned out that that's not what the Brazilian users would like to see. The desired behavior is that the <dead_acute> key followed by the c key results in ccedilla, while keeping the original behavior for other letters. Preliminary we have abandoned the idea to fix this in xkeyboard-config, and are now trying to make use of x11 compose instead. Nevertheless, if it is at all possible to achieve the desired behavior with xkeyboard-config only, it would probably be the most robust solution, and also most convenient for the users. Do you possibly have an idea whether it can be done?

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.
