Sorry, but outputting it is _not_ the problem - that works fine. _Inputting_
is the problem. Pressing AltGr-e yields a question mark. It _inputs_ a
question mark, as can be checked by od -tx. Copy&Pasting an € works as well.
I can also change the .keytab by adding

| key E +Alt : "\xa4"

so that Alt-e yields an €. The AltGr-e is still eaten by konsole. The same
problem is with ^s ^S ^z ^Z, which where added in iso-8859-15 as well.
(And now that I finally got rid of those dead keys by disabling KDE keymap
selection since it doesn't have the nodeadkeys option, why isn't there
a key combination for dead keys somewhere hidden at the same positions on
_all_ keymaps?)

.de is German. Trust me, I use 8bit chars since I bought this computer. And
I said it works fine in an XTerm.
