I hadn't realized it failed in GTK2 apps such as gnome-terminal (I'd never tried to emit accented characters in a command line terminal, let alone Ã).

It's too bad that GTK2 uses its own key composition mechanism, totally unrelated with the maps used by X. -- Alexandre Oliva Enjoy Guarana', see http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Red Hat GCC Developer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} CS PhD student at IC-Unicamp oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} Free Software Evangelist Professional serial bug killer
