$ cat /etc/enviroment |egrep -v ^#
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
$ cat /etc/default/locale |egrep -v ^#
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
And then I ran 'dpkg-reconfigure locales'.

After switching on the computer today, for all users it says:
$ unicode_start
unicode_start: Already in UTF8 mode

Now the umlaut-keys generate the right characters. But for all users
'ls -6' tells:
ls: Ungültige Option -- 6
.ls --help. gibt weitere Informationen.
with the 1st + the 2nd dot being a square. Copying, pasting with gpm
+ piping this square through 'hex' it seems to consist of 3
characters: 'e2 96 a0'.
