After I upgraded gnome to 3.6 I noticed that the special characters for foreign languages such as (á é ó etc for PT) stopped working. I don't know where the problem lies, skype or some lib of gnome 3.6. Hope you can help figure out.

I see no problem with Gnome 3.8
Gnome 3.8 is still masked. Since I use the machine for work, I normally stick to stable. I actually went on a limb installing 3.6.
any progress? I'm using 3.6 too .. it's the stable
skype is binary only application, wrong bug reporting system for non-ebuild bugs
(In reply to comment #4) > skype is binary only application, wrong bug reporting system for non-ebuild > bugs did someone steal your hex editor?
I understand that skype is binary only application, but something in Gentoo with Gnome 3.6 is not working, and the problem is revealing itself on the skype application. Since my keyboard is working with everything else except skype (on 2 different machines with identical setup), and I have not a clue why this is happening I thought I would report the bug and hope that you could help trace the problem, even if it is not skype related. Anyway, I did my bit to help ...
