On the command line: env | egrep 'LC|LANG'

One imagine that tool a uses X11R7.1 and tool b uses X11R6 ... but  
this does not seem to be the case here!

There is one more thing: what is put into the *mail* buffer when you  
choose 'Send Bug Report…' from the Help menu? It reveals the  
configure options. Do they look right?


Since I am still bound to X11R6 on my Mac I have no real idea of the  
cause that XLookupString returns 0. The programme xmodmap can print  
the key bindings in X:

        xmodmap -pk

Are the umlauts and ß mentioned in first and second column like some  
7 bit characters? Or do they need modifiers? My X server tells me:

     35         0x00df (ssharp) 	0x003f (question)       0x00bf  
(questiondown)   0x01ff (abovedot)
     41         0x00fc (udiaeresis)     0x00dc (Udiaeresis)      
0x0ae6 (enfilledcircbullet)    0x00b0 (degree)
     47         0x00e4 (adiaeresis)     0x00c4 (Adiaeresis)      
0x00e6 (ae)     	0x00c6 (AE)
     49         0x00f6 (odiaeresis)     0x00d6 (Odiaeresis)
