Confirmed on vivid... Here's the lazy man's fix. It'll replace the dash Skype icon launching command to unset XMODIFIERS before launching skype.
You just have to copy paste in a shell: DESKTOPFILE=/usr/share/applications/skype.desktop if [ -e "$DESKTOPFILE" ]; then sudo sed -ri 's/^Exec=skype %U$/Exec=env -u XMODIFIERS skype %U/g' "$DESKTOPFILE" echo "Found and updated $DESKTOPFILE." else echo "Not Found, NO correction applied." fi -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335732 Title: Accented letters (dead keys) do not work (i.e. stop being 'dead') if you install a complex writing language To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ibus/+bug/335732/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
