Hm, this might be a silly question, but just in case... Could this be probl=
em=20
with font - did you only try in xterm or also in some other applications wi=
th=20
different fonts? Does running xev show "odiaresis" and other characters on=
=20
those keys in right places?
I've tried setting XkbLayout to "de" and in gedit (for example) I do get th=
e=20
right characters at least according to this picture:
http://carbon.cudenver.edu/~tphillip/GermanKeyboardLayout.html

With "en" layout (or no explicit layout setting), do you get proper respons=
e=20
from those keys?

At least we're getting closer :)
