No EuroSign input in X

[Tim Dijkstra <tim@famdijkstra.org>]

Hi,


I thought this was a real issue for i18n, if not direct me somewhere else.
I'm totally lost now. I read the euro-howto but can't get any further. I 
got it working in a virtual console, but X is still a problem.
This is what I got so far.

Keyboard configuration:
	$ xmodmap -pke | grep -i euro
	keycode  26 = e E EuroSign cent
So that should be all right... Also when I check what events take place 
when I enter AltGr-e with xev:
	KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
	root 0x31, subw 0x0, time 4284761832, (171,-11), root:(1145,717),
	state 0x2000, keycode 26 (keysym 0x20ac, EuroSign), same_screen YES,
	XLookupString gives 1 characters:  "€"
I get the correct result.
Also a file with the euro symbol cat-ed to the screen is ok:
	$ cat /usr/share/doc/euro-support/examples/characters
	This is an euro
	€
	and this is a cent
	¢


But if I try to input the symbol on the command line of konsole or any 
other app, I get
	$ ?
(that's a question mark....)

Any help would be great!

Tim
