Re: Are international keyboards (ie. spanish), with accented characters supported yet?

Mr. Gonzales...

I only have a WIndows XP version to test with, and you are right:
The Special keys (Dead keys) donot work via esvnc(xwindows) to
TightVnc...

I think this is because of the special way X_Windows handles the
"Dead-Keys".  But I don't really know never having programmed X-Windows
before 8-)

So I add myself to the list of people who have this problem....

Maybe a programer can explain how a X-Windows handles the "Dead-keys"
and how it is/should be handled in VNC?
