I have a Toshiba Satellite with American English keyboard. I need to use the
accents and I can do it this way: System > Preferences > Keyboard and change
Keyboard Model to Toshiba Satellite S3000. Keyboard Layout I changed to U.S.
English International (with dead keys). Then the accents are working fine, just
like it should. I have an applet in the panel showing which layout am I using at
the moment, and it shows USA*. BUT WHEN I REBOOT, the accents stop working. The
applet then shows just USA and if I go with the mouse hover it, I see U.S.
English International (with dead keys). Well, if it really was this keyboard, it
should be working just like it was before the reboot. I checked everything and
it seems the correct keyboard was chosen, anyway it is working as a normal U.S.
English keyboard would.

Here are some examples of what happen with a non-dead keys keyboard:
'a 'e 'i 'o 'u ~a ~o "u
All those accents should be over the letters! I have to clear configs and do
everything again to get it to work...
See how the letters would be with the correct keyboard:
á é í ó ú ã õ ü

I believe that's a bug.
