The bug doesn't seem to depend on any SCIM, Qt, GCC or X version. I have emerged SCIM like this (I didn't really care for input method in Qt): app-i18n/scim-1.4.4 USE="gtk -doc -immqt -immqt-bc" And export these variables: export XMODIFIERS=@im=SCIM export GTK_IM_MODULE="scim" I do not export QT_IM_MODULE="scim" (as I was not interested in input method for Qt). When I press a key, which is supposed to be "dead" (ˇ ' ˚) in cs qwerty layout, the symbol is immediately written -- it does not behave like deadkey.
I'm experiencing a similar behaviour, but only when QT_IM_MODULE=scim is used. When that variable is not set, qt gets the accents as is supposed to. I'm using a spanish keyboard with layout "es" and the following versions and useflags. app-i18n/scim-1.4.4 USE="gtk immqt-bc -doc -immqt" app-i18n/scim-anthy-1.0.0 app-i18n/skim-1.4.5 app-i18n/scim-qtimm-0.9.4 USE="nls -debug" As a side note, I'm almost sure this was working about a week ago. The only thing I remember having upgraded in that period that could be related to this is xorg-server. Anything else you ned, please ask.
(In reply to comment #1) Could you try to emerge app-i18n/scim again (no need to emerge the other related apps again), and then restart your X server?

I think I found the fix for this. In my case the deadkeys issue solved enabling in the IMEngines the "Keyboard" one. I disabled it because it annoyed me having to change the first time I tried to type japanese, but I noticed that after disabling it I could not use deadkeys in QT applications. Maybe this will work for you.
I had all engines enabled (English, Japanese, Other). I've tried disabling English & Other and dead keys still don't work.

(and I did correctly test that both SCIM and the deadkeys were working...). (In reply to comment #3) > Maybe meddling with scim-qtimm and USE=immqt(-bc) could make it work > again, but I'd rather not do it. > I just changed the QT and SCIM USE flags from immqt-bc, to immqt, recompiled QT, SCIM, every packages installed depending on QT, and restarted X, but the deadkeys still do not work in QT apps. Finally, though I already tested multiple times before, I stopped X, removed my ~/.scim/ directory, and restarted X... deadkeys were working, with the default configuration. I configured everything as before, restarted X, and it stopped working. I stopped X, removed my ~/.scim/ directory again, and restarted X. As before, it worked with the default configuration. I configured everything beside the "Panel program" and "Config module" to use, restarted X, and it still worked. Then I did the same, after having changed the panel program to "scim-panel-kde", and then after having changed the config module to "kconfig"... and it still worked... I triple checked, and everything is configured just as before. I rebooted, it still works. I hope it will last, though I have no idea what was the source of the problem...

deadkeys, and, in my case, Japanese input)... but this is the exact same configuration as before... I really have no time to spent on this thing, so as the deadkeys now work for me, in QT apps, without having to deactivate SCIM, I won't test other things... (hoping nothing will break after some time :/) but if it really seems something is weird, between SCIM and QT apps, under some cases...
I had this same problem with the abnt2 keyboard layout. Using the last comment from Mathieu Bonnet, I figured out why this happens with Qt-based apps. This is probably a SCIM bug, anyway. When configuring SCIM, leave the English/Keyboard IMEngine enabled. That is the only way SCIM has to properly use your keyboard layout with deadkeys on Qt apps. This bug can, now, finally be closed since this is not a Gentoo problem but a SCIM problem.
Found this bugreport since I wasn't able to enter any letter with caron (Ncaron, Ecaron etc.) in Opera (which uses qt, in my case qt 4.5.2); i.e. the deadkay for caron wasn't working (interestingly though, the acute worked well). I found out that I had locale unset, so it defaulted to "C" locale, which was causing the problems. GTK based program worked well though. I edited /etc/locale.gen and /etc/env.d/02locale to contain: /etc/locale.gen (just uncomment the following line): en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 /etc/env.d/02locale: LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" and then: # locale-gen # env-update # source /etc/profile then rebooted and it works fine now just my 2 cents
Still valid with app-i18n/scim-1.4.9 ?
(In reply to comment #9) > Still valid with app-i18n/scim-1.4.9 ? Yes, I can confirm that the bug still persists in scim-1.4.9-r1 (with KDE 4.3.5 and Qt 4.6.2). None of the hints here helped me either (locales, English keyboard, resetting SCIM config) so I switched to IBus.
still an issue with more recent qt & kde?
