Hi Rex,

thank you for your answer.

The bug you are referring to seems to be a different problem. I don't have 
problems only with accents but with all characters above ASCII 127, ie. it 
seems like the keyboard input is treated as utf-8 but the application (KWrite 
etc.) does not recognize it and prints the raw input, thus two letters for an 
A umlaut.

I know that KWrite at least works perfectly with utf-8 and AFAIK it is even 
the character set used by KDE (-applications) internally.

But you may be right with that it's a problem with the QT library. I have 
searched the Debian QT mailinglists but didn't find anything related. 

Do you think it makes sense that I try to find out what that patch does? Is 
that only related to SuSE or does it also affect my Debian Sid? It seams like 
my QT version is newer anyways, I have 3.3.3-4.1 and the SuSE patch has 
3.3.3-3.15

Thank you for your help,
