After emerging kde 3.1.2, accents stopped working. The layout I use is Brazilian (abnt2), but the same error was find with US English with DeadKeys(us_intl). Checking the .xsession-errors file I discovered the following line: kdecore (KLibLoader): WARNING: KLibrary: /usr/kde/3.1/lib/libkdecore.so.4: undefined symbol: init_keyboard_layout which I believe is related to the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
