I added an entry for AltGr-Shift-e to be currency instead of EuroSign. There
is no difference in the result: It works in a plain XTerm, but not in
konsole. Even in Gabber after changing the font. Actually it seems not to
work in any KDE program...
This is all I did to get to where I am:
* set charset to iso-8859-15, language to de, country to de
in ControlCenter/Personalization/Country&Language
* change to a iso-8859-15 font in all programs I stumble across, in particular
konsole, licq and ControlCenter/.*/fonts
* add LANG=de_DE and LC_ALL=de_DE to /etc/environment (and make sure it is
sourced)
* added proper charset and send_charset option to mutt
* add font = "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--17-120-100-100-p-88-iso8859-15"
to .gtkrc
* add "Xterm.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-c-*-iso8859-15"
to .Xresource
=> Works in XTerm, Gabber, but not in konsole, licq and konqueror.

BS.
PS. I found the compose key in the mean time (the right windows key)
