I use a dead key with a custom /usr/lib/X11/locale/lt_LT.UTF-8/Compose
file to input Lithuanian accented letters. This works in all X
programs; it needs a little workaround (export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim) for
Gtk2 programs. It does not work in OpenOffice.
Some investigation revealed that my dead keys start to work if I change
LC_ALL to lt_LT.UTF-8 before starting OpenOffice. Apparently the shell
script /usr/bin/openoffice does some sort of locale clobbering to work
around OpenOffice bugs. This workaround breaks in my environment.
