Unable to type characters with accent

Hi,

on my linux system (Linux localhost 2.6.21-gentoo-r4 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 16 13:53:53 CEST 2007 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux) I am unable to type characters with an accent (, , ...) in swing / AWT based applications. I have this problem in netbeans. I was also able to reproduce the problem with a tiny swing application. I tried several JVMs (Sun JDK 1.4.2.15, Sun JDK 1.5.0.12, Sun JRE 1.6.0.02), always the same problem.

Displaying these characters works well, so I think it is not a font issue.

Also eclipse works well with characters with accent.

Maybe it is a configuration issue.

Thx in advance for the help.
