Well, throwing away all this "valuable" customization leads in Terminal 
to dired-buffers with 'uuu' encoding -- and short and precise file 
names with real umlauts! But in shell they're gone ... a bunch of 
control codes? (I am using tcsh and see 
a\314?o\314?u\314?\303?U\314?O\314?A\314?\342?\254 instead of äöü?ÜÖÄÛ, 
shell has only 'uu-')

The X11 client is even worse: copy and paste in this same Emacs does 
not work (a simple ä is converted to a whole book volume of glyphs that 
are hard to describe), dired-mode uses a simple 'u' (mode-line goes 
'-u:%%...') and displays 'a<box>o<box>u...Û', and shell uses no mode 
'--:**...' as in Terminal and shows the name as in Terminal.

In xterm shell has '-uu-:**..' and shows the same as in Terminal. Again 
dired works fine!

So it seems I have to wait for GNU Emacs 25 -- if I'm still alive!
