[gentoo-user] OpenOffice 3.0.0 with dead keys

I´m trying to get OpenOffice 3.0.0 to recognize and enter French accented 
characters (e.g., ´   + e or ^ + a , etc.) I´ve set up KDE keyboard layouts 
and can get the proper characters displayed on console, xterm, kmail and 
other windows, but the dead key combinations in OpenOffice are simply 
dead--no characters produced at all.  When switching back to the US layout 
without dead keys, the same key presses to OpenOffice produce two characters, 
as one would expect.

I do this all the time with OpenOffice on my laptop with openSUSE 10.3.  Is 
there something I´ve not setup correctly on my gentoo system?
