hi

but, when I log in using gdm-2.14 with iso8859-1 and English language, the "c acentuado" error happen, is when the "c" is write with an acute instead of  ç (cedilla)

to fix this error is simple, just add "en" in the locales list at /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules

I fixed in my computer, the diff between the old gtk.immodules and the new is show bellow

diff gtk.immodules.old /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules

14c14
< "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk+" "/usr/share/locale" "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa"
---
> "cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk+" "/usr/share/locale" "az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa:en"

Don't restrict bugs without any reason, please...

Hi,

Is this still an issue on your system with newer gtk and gdm ?

Maybe you should try using unicode/utf-8 on your system (Fedora and Ubuntu have gone full utf-8 and dropped locales in other encodings).

Thanks

Actually, I discovered that this behavior happens because GTK group choose Ć against Ç when someone is using us-intl, I don't know why, because ç(latin) is more use than ć(polish).

Here(Brazil) we have a huge problem because of ć, and this gkt "feature" is one of kde zealots' arguments against gnome/gtk.
