~ ¨ ´ - keys need to be pressed twice [SOLVED]

Running KDE 3.5.  The ~, ´,  and ¨ keys has to be presses twice - or nothing happens.  All other keys are working OK.  This is true for all applications.

If I´m in a virtual terminal - everything is just fine, no need for any double click on any key.

My idea was that the probelem is with the KDE keyboard definitions (I hace a Logitech wireless kbd) - but any setting I chose (pc103, pc105, Logitech - any of them) doesn´t solve the problem.

Any ideas will be welcomed.

You are using deadkeys. They're used in languages that have accents on some signs. éàîü for example.

I think the idea was to remove deadkeys and see if it works then.

SO, in the end, changed the keyboard definition in Control Center to -
U.S. English w/ ISO9995-3 [en_US]

and everything works just fine

Thanks for your help

Re: ~ ¨ ´ - keys need to be pressed twice [SOLVED]

I am bring this topic back, cause got a very similar problem.

I am using a german keyboard and in xfce4, gnome or wherever all keys are working.
Only in kde the " ´ " doesnŽt appear. I always get a " Ž "
I tried every possible setting in controlcenter or player with deadkeys or nodeadkey in xorg.
Stupid kde just dont care.

Ayn other idea how to fix this?
