I have investigated it, and the problem is in this code (from 
dlls/x11drv/keyboard.c):

    else TRACE("Found keycode %d (0x%2X)\n",e.keycode,e.keycode);

    ret = XLookupString(&e, (LPVOID)lpChar, 2, &keysym, NULL);
    wine_tsx11_unlock();

    if (ret == 0)
·       {
·       BYTE dead_char;

·       dead_char = KEYBOARD_MapDeadKeysym(keysym);
·       if (dead_char)
·           {
·           MultiByteToWideChar(main_key_tab[kbd_layout].layout_cp, 0, 
&dead_char, 1, bufW, bufW_siz
e);
·           ret = -1;
·           }
·       else
·           {
·           char·       *ksname;

·           ksname = TSXKeysymToString(keysym);
·           if (!ksname)
·       ·       ksname = "No Name";
·           if ((keysym >> 8) != 0xff)
·       ·       {
·       ·       ERR("Please report: no char for keysym %04lX (%s) :\n",
                    keysym, ksname);
·       ·       ERR("(virtKey=%X,scanCode=%X,keycode=%X,state=%X)\n",
                    virtKey, scanCode, e.keycode, e.state);
·       ·       }
·           }
·       }

The problems come from that the XLookupString is used to convert the keycode 
to the display string. It does properly display that the pressed key is 
odoubleacute, but because XLookupString works only for Latin1 characters, so 
the string representation is not returned.

I dont see how this situation should be handled.
Maybe another X function should be used instead of XLookupString (one which 
works with chars other than Latin1).

I'm not too good in X programming so please HELP!!

Thanks
