Subject: UTF-8 locale and Unix keyboard handler

The Unix keyboard handler does not seem to be able to deal with
UTF-8 locale. When a key is pressed that generates a multibyte
value, the handler ends up aborting input 'due to lack of data'.
If anyone out there uses UTF-8 locale, could you please verify that
this is indeed the case?

(What happens in my set up is that while the keypress event
contains the correct key value, the string that is supposed to
represent this value is 0-length. This string should be generated
inside GDK, by calling XmbLookupString. I have had a brief look at
the GDK code, but at least at superficial examination it seems to
be OK).
