[vile] Strange problems entering extended UTF-8 characters in xvile

[Chris G]

I'm having some odd problems entering accented (and other) characters in
xvile.   That is I'm having problems *entering* the characters, when
they are entered correctly they display OK and are correctly encoded etc.

The first problem is that using the 'Multi_key' to enter the characters
only works sometimes, I haven't really worked out when it does and
doesn't work, most of the time it just does nothing.  The Multi_key
works correctly in every other application I have tested (e.g. firefox
text boxes, command line windows, vile, etc.).

Secondly, even though I'm running digraphs.rc when I start xvile the
CTRL-K sequence to enter accented characters doesn't work for some
sequences.  E.g. CTRL-K i ^ produces an i with a circumflex but CTRL-K e
' produces ^Ke'.  In fact, looking into it further, it seems that only
the acute accent sequences aren't working.  Is it possibly that the \'
in digraphs.rc isn't being interpreted correctly?  Sequences without a \
seem to be OK.  (This problem is present in vile as well as in xvile)

Finally, if I paste an é into an xvile window I sometimes get an é and
sometimes I get é.
