Thanks, the output of those commands led me in right direction (.xinputrc
points to scim configuration), rebooting once more helped.

When I noticed that the dead-keys were not working, I tried to log out and back
in, it didn't help. Then I created a new user and switched to that user,
dead-keys were not working with that new user neither. Then I rebooted and that
didn't help. Then I removed all the scim packages and rebooted, that didn't
help. Then I re-installed the scim packages and rebooted, then for a while the
dead-keys were working, but I had gotten the scim tray-icon which was new to me
so I tried to quit it, it crashed and my dead-keys went back to no-working
condition. Rebooting after that solved the problem, I guess just logging
out/back in would have also.

Between all the steps above I messed with the keyboard settings, and at some
point the .xinputrc link had been made (see the timestamp of the file). My
newly created user account doesn't have the .xinputrc -link and dead-keys are
not working with that user. My current user and that user have both been
created with the adduser -command. The same problem happens (no .xinputrc) if
using the GUI tool to add a new user and dead-keys are not working for the new
user.

Below is the requested information even though it's now working, the only
difference between these and with the non-working users is the missing
.xinputrc link from the non-working users.
