Comment(by walter):

 I've started working on a dead key version of the US keyboard (See
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Keyboard_layouts#OLPC_section_of_the_XKB_symbol_file_.28dead_key_variant.29).
 Please try it out to see if it helps.

 I don't know the dead key equivalent for the following Unicode combining
 character codes:
 combining breve below;
 combining ring below;
 combining circumflex below;
 combining caron below;
 combining diaeresis below;
 combining macron below;
 combining tilde below.

 Do they exist already? Shall we define them? Shall we just stick with the
 Unicode in this case? Or should we teach GTK applications to do something
 sensible with the Unicode combining accents and "compress" them to a
 single character? Or all of the above?
