echo $LANG
C

Maybe(!) this is already the answer. Actually this setting doesn't
support special characters like german umlauts (as far as I know,
maybe I'm wrong).

Yes!

Also in your shell (xterm, dtterm - not gnome-terminal)?

Should I use a different value for $LANG? Where can this be configured?

I would give it a try. You can set the language environment in your
login screen of your Solaris system. There is a button like "options"
and there you will find a language submenu with the encodings. Due to
doing this, $LANG should (hopefully) be set system wide on your
desktop. If not, try to set the variable manually in a shell and then
start the SGD client from that shell. (for example "export
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8", but you should try the ISO settings too)

Maybe the man pages for "locale" and "localedef" are also helpful.

Any idea why pressing Alt Gr beeps in a SGD client session? I does not
beep when working locally!
I have no clue, sorry.

Hope this helps, I don't have any other ideas.
