Uhm... I am not sure if that actually works as it should.

First, I tried to apply the pt_BR.UTF-8 locale (using export LC_CTYPE="pt_BR.UTF8") but the language pack was not installed,
therefore the workaround would only work after installing the language pack, probably that will create the
same kind of confusion that the workarounds create now. 

Anyway, I installed it, and then I could export the LC_CTYPE. I launched a session of gedit and within that gedit session
the ç appeared correctly. However, at the same terminal from where I launched gedit the cedilla continued
to appear as an accented "c", and the same for new terminals launched from that terminal. That is, changing the
LC_CTYPE environment variable did not work system-wide.

At the same time, although there could a combination of Language/Region/Keyboard that provided the correct
behaviour, I am not sure if forcing a specific language for the interface is a reasonable solution to that problem.

Leandro.

Title:
  cedilla appears as accented c (ć instead of ç) when typing 'c

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.
