Now I understand what's going on. Thanks a lot. 

As far as I know, when XmbLookupString returns unknown keysym
(in this case "XK_dead_XXX"), mlterm simply ignore the input 
and I guess that's a problem.

However, to handle various accents, mlterm need to know how to compose
 a accent and a letter into accented letter. 

The XFree86's xterm seems to contain a large table forconversion
 from keysym to unicode. But it's a hack and I have to think a bit.
There must be some more cleaner approach...
