Hi Román
I didn't know those were called "dead keys". I've read about dead keys before, but never knew what exactly they were ;-)
I rerolled to kubuntu on my main computer, but since I have special interest in this issue, and I'm very happy with you trying to figure this out, I just installed a new Ubuntu64 VM from scratch. These were the steps taken and their results:
1) Clean installation in spanish
2) Updated everything and rebooted
3) Opened up a gnome app and tried to write Á or Â. It worked fine, as it always did (these things must be tested just in case)
4) Installed kate, a KDE application and tried to write Á or Â. It worked fine! It just didn't before, it would write ´A.
5) Installed amsn, a TCL application and tried to write Á or Â. It worked fine! It just didn't before, it would write A.
6) Downloaded skype from the web and installed it; I don't even know what it uses. It worked fine! It just didn't before, it would write ´A.
7) After reading your link, I decided I would open up openoffice writer. Tried to write Á or Â. It worked fine, as it always did (these things must be tested just in case)
8) Being completely amazed at this, I went to a workmate's pc that still uses Ubuntu64 and had this problem as well. Kate worked.
I guess it must have been fixed in some update since my last post. I'll use the oportunity to try KDE. So far I like it, even though it's so different that I have to relearn even the most basic things.
One last thing, I tried to do this:
# ps axu | grep -i ibus
And found no ibus process running. Is this normal?
