[Bug 1251176] Re: Can't type accented characters anymore: <dead-acute> is undefined
I get this on Xubuntu after dist-upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04 and
subsequently installing emacs24.
I can confirm the "XMODIFIERS= emacs" workaround. As in #5, loading
iso-transl does not seem to offer any remedy.

Title:
Can't type accented characters anymore: <dead-acute> is undefined
Status in Emacs-snapshot for ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in “emacs24” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When you type an accented character through a dead-key, you might get
one of:
<dead-acute> is undefined
<dead-grave> is undefined
<dead-tilde> is undefined
<S-dead-tilde> is undefined
<dead-diaeresis> is undefined
<S-dead-diaeresis> is undefined
or something similar.
On the web, I found several workaround:
1/ launch emacs with "XMODIFIERS='' emacs"
2/ type C-x 8 RET RET once
3/ add "(require 'iso-transl)" to your .emacs.d/init.el or .emacs file
