This does not help in my case. I can view UTF-8 encoded text, can input localized text using LEIM, but cannot input any symbol using XFree86's XKB. Looks like Emacs ignores my keystrokes. I can, however, input localized text using XKB in Mozilla 1.0 I have: export LANG="C" export LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8" set in my ~/.profile file.
