The log shows that it's clearly a problem with XFree86 which can't translate
EuroSign keysym to a character in your locale (pt_BR):

trace:event:EVENT_ProcessEvent Got event KeyPress for hwnd 0x10022
trace:key:X11DRV_KeyEvent state = 2010
trace:key:X11DRV_KeyEvent KeyPress : keysym=20AC (EuroSign), ascii chars=0 / 0 / ''

I think that by running 'xev' you could confirm that.

One of the solutions is to find an existing locale in your system which
supports entering of EuroSign (look for 'locale -a | grep @euro') or
generate one yourself. Probably using either pt_PT or pt_PT at euro might help
since Brazilian locale presumably is not supposed to support the Euro sign.
