Danish Keyboard Layout working in Gnome but not in Kde

Hi!,

I'm trying to get to work the Danish Keyboard layout in Kde, with no success. In Gnome it works fine, but in Kde (or well, any Qt based app), when I hit å, ø, or try to write accents, I get two white quads instead of the correct character.  It works if I write them in a gtk aplication, copy and paste in a kde app.. but...

Does anyone knows what can be possibly happening?

My xorg.conf has

    Option "XkbRules"   "xorg"
    Option "XkbModel"   "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout"  "dk"

and Kde is configured to use the DK Layout.

thanks!

ps. I wrote this in gnome

Have you tried to turn off the kde keyboard settings?

Tried, but the same happens, I took a screenshot of the situation, both editors (gedit and kedit) has the same font type.

I don't know what is happening

thanks!

That's strange...I use Norwegian keyboard without any problems.
It doesn't seem to be a keybard problem, though. It might be a Locale problem.
Have your tried to uncomment the lines which start:

#da_DK.UTF-8
#da_DK  ISO-8859-1

in /etc/locale.gen

and then run the command

locale-gen

and put

da_DK.utf8

in /etc/rc.conf

Ouh, no.. I have another problem

I want the language (for apps like gcc, or mc) to be english, not danish, so I replaced in rc.conf da_DK.utf8 by en_DK.utf8, and got the language as english, but now.. accents doesn't work anymore. They do work, again, under gnome, but not in kde.  Any ideas?

thanks a lot
