The solution to my problem may be fairly obvious, but bear with me im
still fairly new to the whole linux experience...

Some days ago I found the aplication amsn ( great program btw ) but after
alittle while I found out that I couldn't use danish specail chars (
OSlash, Aring, etc..) or even the 1/2 char.. some one sugestet that it
migth be fixed by getting the latest version of tcl & tk, so I grabbed the
sources, uninstalled the old tcl/tk version and compiled the source - but
to no avail :( - the problem still ocours with any tcl/tk apps.
They will show the chars in menus, etc. just fine and if I paste some text
containing the specail chars i works allrigth (also work every where else
in my system), but when pressing them on my keyboard nothing happens..

im not really shure what information you migth need to help me solve this
so just ask...

Problem summary: tcl/tk application ignore keypresses of local charecters,
but works fine when pasted.

something that migth be usefull:

I use Redhat 9.0, kernel 2.4.22, gnome, tcl/tk 8.4.4.0

my /etc/sysconfig/i18n:
