International accents out of dead keys in Lubuntu

Question

From the first moment, after the installation of Lubuntu 12.04, I cannot type Greek accents, when the Greek layout is selected.

The Greek layout works with some dead keys, i.e. pressing ;+ α gives accented α etc. In my case the dead key is ignored and α remains without an accent.

I have looked all similar questions in askubuntu or forums, but they do not seem to provide a solution to the exact problem for Greek.
