Swedish keyboard layout not working after upgrade to 25.11

Help

Hi
Noticed that after the upgrade to 25.11 none of the “dead keys” are working in the Swedish layout (GNOME, it works with KDE).

Not a big thing but a bit annoying. I just added the “no dead keys” layout instead but I suspect this is a bug.

Anyone noticed something similar? or any other workaround?

Thanks in advance!

GNOME, it works with KDE

Uhm, it’s not the first time some XKB layout is broken or doesn’t appear in GNOME, and only GNOME. I’m not sure what’s going on here specifically, but I’m inclined to blame GNOME and not a configuration problem in X.org or Nixpkgs.

GNOME people made some changes.
Enable ibus or fcitx5.

Changelog entry at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/commit/40fdcc688fd86b21cf10f6f1898217719de7c6dc#9f621eb5fd3bcb2fa5c7bd228c9b1ad42edc46c8

Note: This release makes GTK rely on the Wayland text protocol
for input method support. For compositors without that protocol,
you can manually set GTK_IM_MODULE=simple to get back support for
X11-style compose sequences and dead keys.

I guess this envvar is the other option, but I’m not sure about the follow-on effects.
