But locale says that you really have UTF-8 enabled?

I can only say how I got my system into Unicode: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 into
/etc/environment. For gdm there is a change needed in /etc/X11/gdm.conf
(I think). I don't know how it is with kdm, I start my X11 from console
with startx, so the locale from console is used. This works nearly
perfect, some older apps don't recognize unicode right.
