I cannot type accented letters (á é etc.) in the new
xterm, while i do can type them in old xterm.
Except for that program, my localized X-Windows manages to compose
"á" with 'accent key' plus 'a' key.
In new xterm I type 'accent key', then 'a', and obtain apparently
nothing at the screen. I don't know whether
1) the combination of this keys gives an incorrect utf-8 code
2) the X-Windows compose function does not work at all with this xterm
As a temporary patch, i had to remap my keyboard with xmodmap, so i
type ('AltGr' plus 'a') instead of ('accent key', then 'a').
Neither xmodmap nor configure files of my X-Windows allows me to
(re)program composed keys, or at least i don't know how, so at the
moment i haven't got another solution.
Can you throw some light about this?
