(K)ubuntu and US intl keyboard, does not work anymore

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

Usually I write non ascii text, such as latin1 or hebrew with quail,
however sometimes I also use the keyboard layout as provided by Kubuntu.
(That is not very recommenable for hebrew since C-s would give C-ד.

However for latin-1 it is ok, till recently I must say.

Now when I have us/intl activated and press the key:
It's shift+ the key two keys to the right of L
then I obtain

<dead-diaeresis> is undefined

So pressing that key and say a does not result in ä

Xev tells me
KeyPress event, serial 39, synthetic, NO, window 0x5a0001
state 0x2001, keycode 0 (keysym 0xa8, diarersis), same_screen Yes
XMBLookupstring gives 2 bytel (c2 a8) "¨"

This is not strictly a GNU emacs question, but if somebody know about it
I would be grateful.

Thanks
