Description

In order to simulate this problem you should first change your keyboard layout on X11 to English (US, international with dead keys).
I do this on my machine by using the setxkbmap command:

$ setxkbmap us -variant intl

After logging into any guacamole session, it doesn't matter the protocol chosen, when I try typing accented characters like 'áéíóú' (which is a key sequence of DeadAcute and then the character we want to have accented) I get 'aeiou' instead.
