Version: (using KDE 4.1.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I can't type characters like these: El Niño, Crème Fraîche, Café With Gnome it works well, also at a virtual console. But KDE is ignoring the settings. Even when i set a keyboardlayout at the systemsettings i cant type those characters. This bug effects my desktop pc also as my laptop. Both are DELL Inspirons.
