    Description

      Belgian keyboard layout.
      Mandriva 2010.1 KDE 4.4.3
      My locale was set up as US English (I want my programs to be in English) and country Belgium (I'm Dutch speaking).
      $ locale
      LANG=en_BE.UTF-8

      Dead keys in KDE programs and OpenOffice did not work: ^e,~n in stead of ê, ñ.
      In Firefox and gtk programs dead keys work.

      I then set my locale to Dutch and country Belgium:
      $ locale
      LANG=nl_BE.UTF-8

      Then dead keys in KDE programs and OpenOffice work.
      In systemsettings of KDE I could change the language from Dutch to US English and OpenOffice also has an option to change the language to US English. The dead keys still work.
      But now firefox and gtk programs are all in Dutch and that can't be changed.

      Please make dead keys work with locale en_BE.UTF-8.
