Hi again,

in my case I'm trying to use a pure English setup with US alternative
international keyboard. With this setup the keyboard do not act as
expected. When I set the whole system to Brazilian Portuguese the
keyboard backs to the normal behavior.
Nio is suffering of the very same problem with a Swedish environment.

I agree with you, there is something wrong under the hood, for that
reason I opened a bug against x11-xkb-utils and not against the GUI.
Hoping that setxkbmap is the guilty.

And I'm starting to think so too André but Nio told us:

Acute accent + c  prints ç in 12.04.3 but ć in 13.10

so setting the same keyboard in two version of *ubuntu the system work
in different ways?

Damn, seems there is not any solution out there to solve this problem
beside revert all to PT-BR. For me (and I thin for Nio too) it's
better testing and debugging with a standard configuration to avoid
issues.
Let see if some dev will reply on bug report, otherwise it will mean
that it is not considered a issue. The end. :)
