I've raised a bug report against this already, see https://launchpad.net/bugs/70886 Switch to KDE as your window manager and it should just work, or use Kubuntu which uses KDE by default, to get simple diacritics. However, I have no need for the general case so I cannot say how that might be achieved, but I suspect that you should be talking on the Ubuntu forums, since in Linux the input is interpreted by the input method, not by the application. > > Henri > > 2007/2/18, Tom Chilton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > You say 'When I was using XP.'
