Version: (using KDE 4.2.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Since KDE 4.2, compose key (for entering international accented characters) is ignored in all KDE and QT applications. I have set compose to rwin (tested also menu, rctrl and others) like I did in KDE 3.x using the keyboard layout settings page in systemsettings. All other programs respect the compose key (like OpenOffice.org, xterm, etc), only KDE and QT-programms ignore it. I have then tried to use setxkbmap to set the compose-key: $setxkbmap -option compose:menu resulting in the following settings: $ setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+de:2+inet(evdev)+compose(menu)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" }; }; Still the same reaction: other programs work as expected, KDE/QT doesn't.
Deinstalling scim, skim and related packages suppresses this problem. No idea why skim pokes its head in. I haven't done anything to enable it, and saw no option to disable it. But xim will do for me, so I just deinstalled it.

No response; assuming it was fixed since then.
