[Bug 307888] Re: keyboard layout is ignored while composing Ctrl-modified keys

 

A workaround for this entire problem is to NOT set up multiple layouts
in GNOME's keyboard preferences dialog.  Instead, use the setxkbmap
command to manually switch between your desired keyboard layouts.  For
example:

setxkbmap dvorak # switch to Dvorak
setxkbmap us # switch to QWERTY

The downside is that you no longer get the nice GUI keyboard layout
switcher in the notification area (system tray), but the upside is that
your desired keyboard layout functions correctly in all applications,
including gnome-terminal and compiz.

Hope this helps.
