KDE + pl_PL.UTF8 problems

Hi,

I've got this problem in KDE. Whenever i set my locale to anything UTF8 (like "pl_PL.UTF8"), I can't get the polish letter o' (o acute). It prints out two square characters (as if it were two bytes). It works well in GTK2 applications without problems and so does in KDE when the locale is set to "pl_PL". A similar problem was presented in the polish Archlinux forums.

The problem is: I use KDE and I would like to have a UTF8 system. Anyone could help?

xorg.conf

        Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
        Option "XkbModel" "hp5185"
        Option "XkbLayout" "pl"

xev with pl_PL.UTF8

KeyPress event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x2a00001,
    root 0x135, subw 0x0, time 2722738942, (527,545), root:(530,570),
    state 0x80, keycode 32 (keysym 0xf3, oacute), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (f3) "
    XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (f3) "
    XFilterEvent returns: False

KeyRelease event, serial 31, synthetic NO, window 0x2a00001,
    root 0x135, subw 0x0, time 2722739028, (527,545), root:(530,570),
    state 0x80, keycode 32 (keysym 0xf3, oacute), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (f3) "
    XFilterEvent returns: False

Re: KDE + pl_PL.UTF8 problems

Does this solve your problem?

Did you edit /etc/locale.gen and run locale-gen?
