Thank you (and Kevin Rogers as well).
This indeed fixes the display as it should.
It only works if the buffer has been saved though, 
but that's no big problem.

Is there a similar simple way to change keyboard behaviour? 
Now, if emacs is started with locale (LC_CTYPE) set to
some ISO-8859-15 locale the euro key on my keyboard
works as it should, and keys corresponding to characters
not in ISO-8859-15 do not, whereas with ISO-8859-1
locale the reverse is true. 

- Actually I just found a good (and with afterthought
obvious) workaround: set LC_CTYPE to some UTF-8 locale,
and both keys work (and combined with suitable settings
for coding system preference order it won't even cause 
files to be saved by utf-8 by default either).
So this is just idle curiosity at this point, but I'd
still like to know is there a simple way to effectively 
change emacs behaviour as if locale had been changed
without restarting it?
