Sorry, I forgot the input translation table never got used properly.
It should affect self-inserting characters, but I couldn't do that
originally (in Lisp). The situation above is the same as for Quail
methods, and I think it's strictly correct insofar as X uses iso2022
and defines the keysym to be Latin-1, but obviously it's not what you
want.
I'll sort out the translation table, then you'll get a high
probability of translating the input character appropriately for the
buffer context, regardless of the locale. I probably can't test that
under X before Monday.
If the current code is causing anyone problems, setting
`x-keysym-table' to an empty hash table should give the same behaviour
as before.
[The input translation may be useful for more charsets than currently
supported. See ucs-tables.el if anyone wants to add more tables that
are useful and not too big. If they are big (2-dimensional charsets),
they should probably just be added to the translation tables in
appropriate language environments.]
