I don't understand why you have to set
keyboard-coding-system to no-conversion for dead keys.  Dead
keys must be handled by terminal, and Emacs just receives
the resulting character (encoded in your locale) from the
terminal.  So, setting keyboard-coding-system to what is
appropriate for your locale should work well, and that
should be done automatically.

What other choices were tried?  utf-8, latin-X should all
work.  What is your locale?
