Dead-acute not defined (emacs 24.3.1)

Dead-acute not defined (emacs 24.3.1)

[Alexandros Prekates]

Version:Emacs 24.3.1. (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.10.7)
OS: Kubuntu 14.04


I coulnd put greek diacritics (tonos) in greek letters (eg: ? , ? etc)

I press the dead key for the diacritic and when i press the letter i get 
the message:
<dead-acute> ? is undefined.

After hours of searching and trials i found that
echo $XMODIFIERS
@im=ibus

was causing the issue and setting that var empty helped diacritics work 
again!.

So should i be worried about changing that value in messing with emacs 
in other ways?

Thanks

Does it work without the IBus?

What's IBus? I just read

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_Input_Bus

but I still don't understand the reason for it.

On my Debian, as for X, in

/etc/default/keyboard

I have

XKBLAYOUT="us"

Can't you set it to "gr"? Then, probably assign some
shortcut to switch back and from "us" which you
probably need for programming or is situations like
this.

Or has Ubuntu switched to Mir (dropping X) for good?
Didn't Kubuntu stick with X? Or do they use Wayland?

If that's the reason, that's crazy... Switch to new
stuff so things that have worked for ages suddenly
won't. Go figure.
