Thanks for the answer :)
So, when I press the 'é' key (an 'e' with an accent), XLookupString()
returns 'é', and then the conversion returned NULL. My charset is
detected as "ANSI_X3.4-1968".
I looked at how Gtk does this, because I can type accented chars in
Gtk's entries, and it seems Gtk does not use XLookupString() at all to
get the UTF-8 string of the pressed key. It gets the "keyval" (?) from
the params of the X event with gdk_keymap_translate_keyboard_state() and
then convert this keyval to UTF-8 with gdk_keyval_to_unicode() and
g_unichar_to_utf8(). All those functions are called by
translate_key_event() in gdkevents-x11.c. Btw, my charset is also
detected as "ANSI_X3.4-1968" by Gdk/Gtk.
I probably could fix that problem by changing my locales, but since it
works with GTK and QT, I think we should make it work in Ecore_X too.
