[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#538669: base: Cannot compose accents with GTK applications since upgrade to squeeze

[y]

Package: base
Severity: important

Hi,

Since I've upgraded I can't create anymore accents by using a compose key (right windows key for me). 
This problem seems to only appear in all GTK application (Iceweasel, icedove, dia,...). 
Otherwise it works in a xterm, OOo and konqueror.

If I want to create a "é" normally I do : right-windows-key then ' then "e" but I get nothing with icedove for instance.
Or if I do right-windows-key then ' then "e" AND then "e" again. I get a reverse "e" like : "ə" :-)

I'm don't where this bug come from. It worked correctly before the upgrade to squeeze. 
Before I was in testing as well but everything should have been close from a lenny actually. I didn't upgrade for a while.

Sorry I don't know what kind of information I can give you because I don't even know what's doing that :(

Cheers,
Thomas
