I still don't see that it has got anything to do with UFT-8. My X
configuration looks like this:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "kbd"
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "dk"
EndSection
In kcontrol - Regional & Accessibility - Keyboard Layout there is a box called
"Enable keyboards layouts". This overrides the X settings. So if it works in
IceWM just disable it. That's what I did. And I have no problems with any of
those characters (áàéèíìóòöuúù€'") in Openoffice either.
