Those are the package versions I'm using here: libgnomekbd-2.28.2-1.el6.i686 kbd-1.15-9.1.el6.i686 imsettings-0.108.0-3.2.el6.i686 -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers All necessary changes in imsettings has already been backported. can you say more words what exactly you are facing and how to reproduce that? Attaching $HOME/.imsettings.log would be also appreciated. I can confirm that this issue exists in RHEL 6.0 Snapshot 4.
> can you say more words what exactly you are facing and how to reproduce that?
Log in to GNOME, open gnome-terminal and check that en_US.UTF-8 is used for all locale categories (adjust ~/.bash_profile as needed). Pressing ´ + space should produce '.
Adjust your ~/.bash_profile to contain "export LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8". Log out, log in to GNOME, check that fi_FI-UTF-8 is used for LC_CTYPE. Pressing ´ + space should produce ´ but instead it produces '. In F12/F13 this works as expected.
I'll attach my ~/.imsettings.log which is from a RHEL 6.0 Snapshot 4 Client "Desktop" installation, otherwise all defaults except the aforementioned locale setting.

Well, you have to install gtk2-immodule-xim package. > Well, you have to install gtk2-immodule-xim package.
Confirmed, this fixes the issue.
Now, should we adjust comps to include gtk2-immodule-xim in the default Desktop installation? It might be helpful for many non-English users.
Thanks.
(In reply to comment #6) > Created an attachment (id=418552) [details] > imsettings log That's just like my imsettings.log. I'm using here Snapshot 5 Workstation. I can't test installing gtk2-immodule-xim on this machine, as I've already applied a workaround that I found for Fedora 11: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=207906 IMHO, if gtk2-immodule-xim is required for non-English users, it should be installed, by default, on all installs. From my experiences, in Brazil, in general, Desktops are shipped with ABNT2 layout, but a few notebooks, several workstations and most servers are provided only with US-layout keyboards.

I think we should yes: it seems to work well in Fedora.

Tested on another machine. Just installing gtk2-immodule-xim solved the issue. This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. I committed the comps fix from Fedora in @input-methods: install gtk2-immodule-xim conditional on gtk2. Tested with 0622.1 build. gtk2-immodule-xim was installed as part of the Input methods group when I performed install with the "Desktop" (GNOME, desktop apps, etc.) profile. Moving to VERIFIED. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. |
