Well, the Umlauts in Opera just work in the HTML widgets. The URL-bar
and the entries in the configuration dialogs don't accept the umlauts.
It works in the xterm window and in your VNC viewer. All they have in
common is that they have to do their own event handling. As soon as they
"just" use GTK+ widgets it suddenly stops working.

That IMHO smells *strongly* like a GTK+-Problem on the 770. And if I
have to do rocket science in signal handlers I've never heard yet about
("commit" and "preedit-changed") to be able to use Umlauts in stock GTK+
widgets then yes, this still is a GTK+-Problem...   :-)

Bye,
