2.5) I'm using the <Spanish/French/etc> locale and I can't get certain
characters to show up when using dead keys. For example, under
xterm I can type a '"' 'u', but under <dtterm/dtpad/etc> all I
see is '"u'.
Add the following onto the end of your ~/.dtprofile file:
export XMODIFIERS=@im=
This will tell Motif to use the builtin XIM (X Input Manager)
that can handle DeadKey and Compose support. Logout and then
back in, and you should see the behavior you expect.

Does this help?
