I can confirm this on
Fedora 18
gnome 3.6.3

dead keys to not work


german key layout:

- pressing the key for any accent on the next char: nothing 
(expected/correct)
- pressing the key for any accent on the next char TWICE: showing the 
accent (actually backtick) (expected/correct)
- pressing the key for any accent on the next char, then a vocal that 
can be accented: nothing  (wrong)

works in gedit on the same system/ same settings
