xterm problem: some keys only work with ctrl-v!

[Christian Hammers <ch@westend.com>]

Hello

ö (odiaresis) does not work when hitting the key on my xterm at home.
When hitting ctrl-v ö or using another host via ssh it works well.
Any idea? 

My .inputrc is:
set meta-flag on
set convert-flag off
set output-meta on
set bell-style visible

bye,

 -christian-
