 The Amharic keyboard does not work with Etoys. The Compose table does not
 seem to work.

 Steps to reproduce:

 1. Install Joyride 2451 in a laptop

 2. Edit /etc/sysconfig/keyboard to look like
 {{{
 KEYTABLE="us"
 XKB_MODEL="olpc"
 XKB_LAYOUT="us,et"
 XKB_VARIANT="olpc2,basic"
 }}}

 3. Set /home/olpc/.i18n to am_ET.UTF-8

 4. Restart sugar

 5. Start Etoys

 6. Start a new project and switch to Nepali language (due to #8530)

 6. Press the switch layout key (if it is a G1G1 variety, the
  division/multiplication key below the enter key is a substitute)

 7. Type the sequence u h (no spaces in between) in a text object

 Actual result: An unicode box character, followed by ሀ comes up

 Expected result: The character ሁ should appear

 To see the expected result, repeat this in the mesh search bar in the
 sugar screen.
