X11 umlaut pasting |

In GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2002-02-21 on pfdabpc
Important settings:
value of $LC_ALL: nil
value of $LC_COLLATE: POSIX
value of $LC_CTYPE: nil
value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil
value of $LC_MONETARY: nil
value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil
value of $LC_TIME: nil
value of $LANG: de_DE@euro
locale-coding-system: iso-latin-9
default-enable-multibyte-characters: t
I opened a file containing only ascii (modeline --:--) and started writing a
text in german with umlauts (ä, ö, ü, ß) and pasted the text with the mouse to
sylpheed (a Gtk+ 1 app). All umlauts disappeared. To my amazement the
portuguese word abraço got pasted without a hitch!
When pasting the same text to an Opera (a Qt 2 app) textarea, everything works
fine. If I then mark and paste it from there to sylpheed it also works.
I must admit I don't understand codesets and languages (also how to type
unicode) in emacs. Maybe part of the problem is the lack of a good tutorial on
this mysterious but very important topic!
best regards
Daniel
