I'm currently using Ubuntu 10.10 and Netbeans 7.0 and I can't type accented letters with dead keys any more. It's not a version specific problem seems it's related with Swing since I've got the same problem with older version of Netbeans and OS. When I type '+a on any app on Linux I get a  vowel. All Linux apps are working fine, but Netbeans doesn't. When I type '+a on Netbeans I get a a vowel (no accent). I can't type quotes and double quotes either.But I got accents on Netbeans using the right Alt key. (that's not what I want)At terminal I got the following locale:LANG=en_US.utf8LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8LC_NUMERIC=en_US.utf8LC_TIME=en_US.utf8LC_COLLATE=en_US.utf8LC_MONETARY=en_US.utf8LC_MESSAGES=en_US.utf8LC_PAPER=en_US.utf8LC_NAME=en_US.utf8LC_ADDRESS=en_US.utf8LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.utf8LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.utf8LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.utf8LC_ALL=
