Hello, I m a french user of Gnome / Ubuntu (last version) and wine. I'm quite a beginner on linux. I'm trying to switch totally to linux, but still want to use some windows software with wine which generally works great. I have figured out that the dead keys did not work on my french keyboard. For instance, I can't type ???????, etc. I will get instead ^e^a etc. Otherwise, the classical accents that are defined on typical french keyboard do work (like ????). I know that there is or there was an issue about dead keys with wine. But I can't find any clear information. Thanks for your help Oberon

If by locale you refered to the command Code: locale Here is my result : LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8" LC_ALL It seems rather classical...
