Here it works for the german stuff like this:

/etc/enviroment:
LC_ALL=C
LANG="de_DE.ISO-8859-15"

I had to replace the "EuroSign" in /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/de with "currency":
key <AD03> {        [         e,    E               ],
                        [  currency                     ]       };

Restart the Xserver, set all KDE-Fonts to use iso-8859-15 in the font menus.
Voila. I can get € signs with the keys.
