How can I type "ç" in Windows GTK apps?
Solution 1:
The problem is that GTK apps do not integrate with the Windows input Method Editor (IME) language settings and instead use their own. By default this is set to Simple and needs to be changed. You need to create a new system-wide environment variable called GTK_IM_MODULE and set it to cedilla (I wrongly thought that when set to ime GTK would emulate Windows own behaviour but IME is a different thing). I got the name of the environment variable from here: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/4896
