+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #467016 +++ Description of problem: gtk2-2.14.5-2.fc10, now in testing, breaks entry of characters with dead key combinations in gnome apps. It works just fine with 2.14.4-3.fc10, as in F-10 GOLD. Instead of the expected characters, you get nothing. It still works on non-gtk2 apps such as GNU Emacs, xterm, and konsole, in the same gnome session. I verified that it's specific to gtk2 by booting up rawhide (where the problem does not occur), sshing into the updated F-10 box, starting gedit there, duplicating the problem, downgrading to the GOLD gtk2, starting gedit again, and then having it all work again. Here's some information snipped from the original bug report: Having cs_CZ locale, I need dead-key working, because some of the letters in the Czech keyboard layout are not on the keyboard directly (e.g., ňóť). Unfortunately when entering these keys in the current Fedora Rawhide I get ˇn´oˇt instead. --- Additional comment from misek on 2008-12-05 01:56:54 EDT --- Too bad I'm hit by the same error, it appeared two days ago. Probably after gnome update????? The system is Fedora 10 with the last updates+updates-testing. I'm adding list what was updated since the last known working state (I'm sure it was working 2008-12-03 at 19:32:10).

*** Bug 467016 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Same issue here. Downgrading to 2.14.4-3 fixed it. Using Brazilian keyboard.
I need to know more details to do anything here. What exact keyboard layout are you using ? (setxkbmap -print output would be good) What key combination does not work as expected ?
$ setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+cz(qwerty):2+inet(evdev)+level3(ralt_switch_for_alts_toggle):1+group(alts_toggle)+group(alt_shift_toggle)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" }; }; And it seem that no death key combination works (for all caron and acute characters). For example: for á I press "=" and "a" and the computer just beeps the same for capital R with caron Ř I press "shift" + "=" key and "R" The behaviour is exactly the same as in #467016
setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev(abnt2)+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+br+inet(evdev)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(abnt2)" }; }; I couldn't do any of á é í ó ú â ê î ô û à è ì ò ù ã ẽ ĩ õ ũ ä ë ï ö ü (and their uppercase version) by typing the signal (' ^ ` ~ ") followed by the letter.
[ericd@vaiopro Desktop]$ setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+us(intl)+inet(evdev)+group(shift_caps_toggle)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc102)" }; }; I can confirm downgrading to gtk2-2.14.4-3.fc10.i386 fixes the issue.

gtk2-2.14.5-3.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gtk2-2.14.5-3.fc10
Great, that make the trick and everything works correctly for me after this update. Is it working for all so we should close it?
Bodhi will close the bug automatically when the update is moved from updates-testing to updates. You can speed that up by giving a +1 in the bodhi request. Go to https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gtk2-2.14.5-3.fc10 and add a "works for me" comment.
gtk2-2.14.5-3.fc10 has been pushed to the Fedora 10 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
