KDE (or GNOME?) non-latin chars input problem

After recent upgrade (pacman -Syu) can't anymore type non-latin characters in GNOME apps (like gEdit, Evolution, Thunderbird etc.) under KDE. Openoffice is still OK.
Keyboard layout switching works (can see the difference between US and GB layouts, but when switching to non-latin layouts getting latin chars instead of non-latin.

In KDE apps everything is fine.

Have current KDE and GNOME installed.

BTW, when trying to run Epiphany web browser (under KDE again) getting error message (not sure but maybe this is related to the first problem):
"Could not start GNOME Web Browser
Startup failed because of the following error:
Unable to determine the address of the message bus (try 'man
dbus-launch' and 'man dbus-daemon' for help)"

Have dbus in DAEMONS line in rc.conf.

Any suggestions?

Just put hal in DAEMONS array, and remove dbus... dbus is loaded by hal automagically.
Look also if dbus bindings like "dbus-glib" and "dbus-python" are installed.

Re: KDE (or GNOME?) non-latin chars input problem

Fixed first problem... rollback of inputproto and libxi did the trick (not sure how safe it was).

scarecrow, thank you for your reply but it didn't help for the second problem. Changed DAEMONS to hal only, added dbus-python and even dbus-sharp (just in case, all other dbus related stuff was already there) but - no luck. Perhaps dbus-1.0 might be a solution who knows.
Thanks anyway.
