[Bug 518056] Re: cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c
Thank you Felipe for your feedback. Actually it is Gunnar's solution :-). Anyway, the idea at this point is that
in the next releases that will be the behavior if the user sets the interface language or the language settings
to Portuguese (with the US-International - dead keys keyboard).

Bug description:
When typing in a US-international keyboard with dead-keys (or UK-international),
typing 'c results in an accented c instead of a cedilla.
There is a workaround, which is editing the
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodule-files.d/libgtk2.0-0.immodules
file and changing the line
"cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale"
"az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa"
to
"cedilla" "Cedilla" "gtk20" "/usr/share/locale"
"az:ca:co:fr:gv:oc:pt:sq:tr:wa:en"
(add the 'en' at the end).
However, every time some update on this file is applied, one looses the change,
and we get back to the accented c. That means having to modify the file again,
logout and login.
For me this is no problem. But for my brother, mom, dad, etc, it is always something
that at least makes me less proud of having convinced them to use Ubuntu, because
they don't know what to do each time this happens.
I think we really need a configurable keyboard layout, or at least (and that would
be very easy), the inclusion of alternate layouts on install that for the dead-key
options (as US-deadkey and UK-deakey), alternate layouts as US-deadkey-cedilla.
This change is relevant for at least Portuguese and French.
