Googled this up: > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/415667 After reading this bug I experimented with input method configuration. For example, xchat2 allows to explicitly select input method in its input box. If I use default setting of "X Input Method" then everything is OK. If I change to "Simple" then I get what you get - dot above '˙'. So now you what to look for. -- Andriy Gapon
