Description of problem: In Gnome the Swiss-German keyboard layout with Sun dead keys is still not supported and operates as a Swiss-German keyboard eliminate dead keys. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): This happens with a fresh fc6 installation without any patches and was already existing in FC5. I know only for sure that FC4 supported the Sun dead keys. How reproducible: Happens always after a fresh installation in English with as keyboard sg-latin1. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install FC6 with sg-latin1 keyboard in the English language. 2. Change in the system preferences the keyboard layout to Switzerland German, Sun dead keys. Actual results: In a terminal, pressing first """ and afterward "i" produces ""i". Expected results: In a terminal, pressing first """ and afterward "i" should produce "ï". Additional info: I found as hint that in X.Org 6.7.0+, for de_CH still the old format of XKB was used instead of the single-group format.
I swapped the hard disk with a spare and installed FC6 from scratch with KDE instead of Gnome. The Swiss-German keyboard with dead keys is fully supported in KDE.
