Summary: Linux XIM IME do not report dead keys
Product: SDL Reporter: Jeromy <jeromy>
Component: videoAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: NEW --- QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2    
Version: 2.0.13   
Hardware: x86_64   
OS: Linux   

Description Jeromy 2020-09-16 08:41:22 UTC 
setxkbmap -layout us -variant intl 

and then dead keys will not be reported.

Seems to be because of:
https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/file/2c13b7ca1997/src/video/x11/SDL_x11events.c#l682

Any chance support for XIM IME can be added?
