Package: gnome-terminal
Severity: normal
Version: 2.0.0
Synopsis: gnome-terminal doesn't handle 8-bit international characters
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-terminal

Description:
Description of Problem:

When I type international characters on gnome-terminal, the key is
translated to some 7 bit character. My keyboard has keys for dead_acute,
ntilde, questiondown, etc. for writing spanish (but I use a C locale).
deadkeys are not dead (dead_acute writes a '4'), ntilde is converted to
'q'; questiondown and exclamdown are converted to '?' and '!' , and
compose is ignored.

Those keys still work on gnome-terminal 1.4.0.8, and in others gtk and
gtk2 applications. xev shows that they're sending the correct keysyms,
so it looks like a gnome-terminal (or zvt2? I don't know which one does
the keyboard handling) bug.
