This is the original KDE bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103788 It was pushed upstream to Qt: http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-8 From there it was pushed further upstream to Xorg: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26747 Xorg pushes the bug downstream, back to either Qt or KDE to implement, just as Gnome implemented the fix themselves. An Xorg developer who does not want to be named says that if KDE won't implement it then my distro should. So here I file that request. Note that in KDE 3 one could use the Kcharselect applet to enter arbitrary unicode characters, however that has been disabled in KDE 4: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190776 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/531208/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
