Comment 9 for bug 961741

Until few mins ago I was about to reply that in all unity/gnome accents don't show up over the letters. I have even made logs from evbug kernel mod. As I was doing the last apt updates, noticed I was missing few packages from the virtual 'ubuntu-desktop' package. So I installed it. I used lxdm and gdm in all desktops I have installed (fvwm/gnome3/unity/lxde) and the accents do work: (ά ό ί ) !! :)

on some text files i wrote while I had the problem, and opened them again, I noticed that it was not the LANG that i used to type though. I mean the encoding came out wrong.

From what I have gathered so far, imo , this is not a unity bug, but maybe a default package conf bug. But I cannot confirm it.

So to recap,
once i did the up2date apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, my problem was solved. running 12.04 with latest as i mentioned few times :)

Thanks for the support :)
