$ cat /etc/default/keyboard

When I try to type a word like "étale" in xterm, it works like
this:

 altgr+'  (no visible effect)
 e        (e with acute accent appears)
 t        (t appears)
 ...

with an accumulated result of ét....

In xvt, the effect is instead:

 altgr+'  (acute accent « ´ » appears)
 e        (e appears)
 t        (t appears)
 ...

with a result of ´et..., suggesting that dead keys are being
ignored somehow.

Other keybindings are even weirder:

 altgr+i  (no visible effect)
 a        (i with accute accent « í » appears)
 b        (a followed by b appears)

with a result of íab..., suggesting that characters with
high bit set are being interpreted as dead keys.
