Thanks for the response.  Yes, after playing with MGT a little
more I realized that the characters were getting into the file.
But the problem truly is an MGT _display_ problem, since the
resulting accented character appears on the screen as a blue
caret.  Thinking back, this coincides with a problem I was having
with alsamixer -- all their snazzy character graphics were being
drawn incorrectly.

I believe the problems started when I upgraded to gnome2 (MGT
still works fine on my office gnome1.4 box -- I love using it!).
Could the problem be in a recent GDK or Pango?  My wife claims
she's seen similar behaviour in other gnome2 apps, though a
simple test with PyGTK worked okay.  Is there a magic setting
I'm missing?  I tried debugging into vt_draw_text in zvtterm.c
but I couldn't puzzle out what was going on.

Thanks again for the help.
