I´m trying to get OpenOffice 3.0.0 to recognize and enter French accented characters (e.g., ´ + e or ^ + a , etc.) I´ve set up KDE keyboard layouts and can get the proper characters displayed on console, xterm, kmail and other windows, but the dead key combinations in OpenOffice are simply dead--no characters produced at all. When switching back to the US layout without dead keys, the same key presses to OpenOffice produce two characters, as one would expect.
I do this all the time with OpenOffice on my laptop with openSUSE 10.3. Is there something I´ve not setup correctly on my gentoo system? -- Jim
