This actually varies a bit depending on which character I try to insert,
if I try to write é the cursor jumps a few positions as if I had typed a
tab. When I insert ö it beeps, and when inserting å or ä abolutely
nothing happens. Remember that all of these things work flavlessly if I
run emacs on the console or as a stand alone X app, and only fails when
I run it inside an xterm or rxvt. But the xterm itself accepts these
characters if I type them it at the standard prompt.

I had actually tried those too before, and they didn't help. I don't
think the problem can be in the custimisation of emacs since it works
fine in the above mentioned cases.
