I applied the patch and did a recompile on todays CVS.   I see a change, but
it does not fix things for Icelandic.   My mute key is:

[ra at morticia ra]$ xmodmap -pke | grep dead_acute
keycode  48 = dead_acute Adiaeresis dead_circumflex dead_caron

Its dead_acute I need to get working.   With your patch it still doesnt 
work, but pressing "alt and the mute key" (dead_circumflex) works.
So I can get characters like â ê û î :)

Btw, that key is incorrect from the XFree.org people.  That Adiaeresis is
not supposed to be there and causes wine to complain:

fixme:keyboard:X11DRV_KEYBOARD_DetectLayout Your keyboard layout was not found!
Using closest match instead (Icelandic keyboard layout) for scancode mapping.
Please define your layout in windows/x11drv/keyboard.c and submit them
to us for inclusion into future Wine releases.
See the Wine User Guide, chapter "Keyboard" for more information.


I enabled debugging and its that key thats causing the complaint.  All the
others are right.

So I added the Adiaeresis to the definition for the Icelandic keymap in 
keyboard.c and the complaint went away, but it's still not working :)
