Public bug reported:
I'm trying to use kubuntu in a network with quite a few other iso-8859-1
machines.
Coming from plain Debian, I expected (k)ubuntu to support iso-8859-1 out
of the box, which I can see it does not.
After going through a few tips on the internet, I decided to add this line:
en_DK ISO88591
to /var/lib/locales/supported.d/en as well as
/var/lib/locales/supported.d/local, after which I ran "dpkg-reconfigure
locales" to generate this new locale.
It worked quite well, _except_ that all my dead keys are now behaving as
if I had used the "nodeadkeys" option, which I have triple-checked that
I don't use.
This means that words come out like "se~nor" and "m¨ot¨orhead".
The strange thing is, that this exact setup worked fine in plain Debian.
P.S: I have tried running "xev" to see which keys X sees, and I get
"deadcircumflex", "dead_diaeresis", etc. So X _is_ seeing the dead keys,
it's just not displaying them right. I have no idea why.
