Comment 23 for bug 335732

Installed today ibus on ubuntu 11.10 and had this problem.
Dead keys where not working. I had to do the following workaround to the problem:

apt-get install ibus-xkbc

sudo emacs /usr/lib/ibus-xkbc/ibus-setup-xkbc

Changed "python2.6" to "python2.7".

sudo /usr/lib/ibus-xkbc/ibus-setup-xkbc -> Sorry was wrnong

Select my layout where possible.

Add ibus-xkbc input method and select it.
