Thks for the pointer, indeed it looks like it. I'd rather not have to
install 54M just to be able to input accented chars on KDE apps ;-) Also, if
this is indeed a bug related to X11 keyboard driver, those 54M would
probably be useless... =/

Rex: is kdebase-workspace really the only alternative? Isn't there any
config file I could manually edit?

I'll add a comment on bug 468590 hoping it attracts some attention.

Below follows the list of apps that need to be installed in order to satisfy
