Deadkeys ignored in root account
by starkid from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6M3QS)
I log in to the root account in a terminal, press a deadkey combination, and nothing happens. Deadkeys work for the regular user account in the same terminal.
I'm not sure whether it matters, but: this is in lxterminal on Trisquel, an Ubuntu-derived distro (I re-use my xorg.conf and I've never had this problem on an Arch-derived distro), my input driver is lxinput, the keyboard layout is customized, a slightly modified version of Colemak, and the root account also ignores keystroks and improperly displays characters in the other languages I have set up in my xorg.conf.
