Exactly that's what everybody has been telling me... I now found the reason for emacs not liking utf-8 files: I still had included a many years old emacs package from our local administrator that had been designed to remap a few keys when we were sill working on our Solaris UltraSparcs. I had not thought of the fact that this piece of software might mess with the input-methods and so effectively disabled the unicode support. Emacs now plays nice with utf-8 files in X-Window mode.

Thanks for that suggestion. Thanks for your tips, Jim
