finally someone advice put (require 'iso-transl) in the .emacs and
that worked!
This also works for me, in Mac OS X.
But I have doubts about this... Whats happening?
A change ...
Someone else has this problem?
Yes, definitely.
Is this a problem of Ubuntu?
No, it looks to be general. Maybe it's explained somewhere in the
documentation ...
It seems that nothing is loaded automatically because there is a
choice betwee iso-transl and iso-acc. Both seem to provide an input
method with C-x 8 or Alt-<accent> prefix, but what you and I are
doing is just pressing a dead key (^, ´, `, ~, ¨) for the accent and
then another key to "compose" the accented character. And there is no
Alt key used in this! And according to documentation it seems be
appropriate for 8-bit encodings, so it should be pretty useless in
UTF-8. I reported this bug when it was introduced, but the bug seems
to be classified as a feature ... Maybe it's just because the file is
auto-loaded though pretty useless.
