I had neither in my environment so I added them and there was a  
change.  The dead keys printed correctly but weren't dead.  The same  
with xim.  I am seeing this on different laptops and one multiple  
desktop keyboards.  They are all runing KDE and the desktops are  
running FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE and the laptop uptodate Current.

I'm going to give it a try because we have been using openoffice since  
1.x without problems and without having to learn about SCIM ;)
