We had a lot of trouble figuring out how to get the accents working for Brazilian Portuguese on Ubuntu 11.04 in the proper way that Brazilians are used to. Firstly we didn't know which Keyboard Layout to use, which turned out to be English( US, alternative international).
Pre Ubuntu 12
On versions of Ubuntu before 12, a hack is required to get the cedilla working. Apostrophe then "C" makes a "ć", which doesn't even exist in Portuguese! It should give the cedilla (ç). To fix this final problem we had to do the following from the terminal.
First edit the /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/gtk.immodules configuration file with root privileges,
Then find the line that configures the cedilla and add an "en" option to the end so it looks like this:
A restart will be required before the change takes effect, and your cedilla's should be working properly :-)
