In my case, after typing the combination that contains a deadkey, the
correct resulting character used to appear for a fraction of a second,
disappearing afterwards.

All right, here are my SCIM settings. Put these lines in ~/.xinitrc:

  export GTK_IM_MODULE=3Dscim
  export QT_IM_MODULE=3Dscim
  export QT_IM_SWITCHER=3Dimsw-multi
  export XMODIFIERS=3D@im=3DSCIM
  scim -d

before the command that starts your GUI. After that try experimenting
with various *_IM_MODULE values. Please note that you need QT_IM_MODULE
for KDE applications and that it's better to start SCIM manually than
to use XIM_PROGRAM=3D"scim -d".

My editors/openoffice.org-3-devel is compiled with 'LOCALIZED_LANG=3Dsr',
'WITHOUT_CUPS=3Dyes', 'WITH_SYSTEM_FREETYPE=3Dyes', 'WITH_SYSTEM_ICU=3Dyes',
'WITH_TTF_BYTECODE_ENABLED=3Dyes'.

(However, since you use KDE/SKIM and maybe OpenOffice.org WITH_KDE, the
things might be a bit more complicated...)

Besides, if you share with me the actual keyboard file you use, it would
be the best way to investigate the problem further. What I wrote were
just generic ideas.

Best wishes.
