I use us_intl as my keyboard configuration (since I don't have any
ABNT2 keyboards :-), and use Compose comma c to generate ç. This
works in all applications I've tried, both text applications started
from within gnome-terminal and graphical applications.

'fraid I can't help with this one. Certainly the X11 configuration
won't make any difference here.

I haven't tried gaim. I use xchat, and it works for me, even though
the IRC protocol didn't define a standard encoding or some mechanism
to communicate the encoding last I looked.
