I got this to work by setting LC_CTYPE. To do this I had to use a
.xsession and gdm's "Debian" session method.

Here's my .xsession:

"""
export LC_CTYPE=pt_PT.UTF-8@euro
gnome-session
"""

I did this because gdm will only let me select the language I want.
Since I want to be able to use accented characters but want my desktop
in english I did that. If anyone knows of a better way to do this I'm
interested.

Pedro.
