Just found the problem. I was setting LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" in .xsession, as suggested by stsp@ at http://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20100729233638 This was having no effect in Xorg at all. In firefox, when typing an accented character, I was getting: ** (firefox-bin:13132): WARNING **: Error converting text from IM to UTF-8: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input Just put all the stuff I normally put in .xsession in .xinitrc (like setting LC_CTYPE). Problem solved. In other words, has nothing to do with configuring keyboard layout in Xorg. Thanks for helping.
