Hi.

I realize that this might be a configuration issue on my side and thus
off-topic.  If that's the case, I'd like to appologize.

How do I get the ¤ (Euro) character to work in KDE 2.2.2?

I'd like to be able to press AltGr+e to get the Euro key, since this is
the standard to get it.  This works fine in Gnome (most of the time) and
on the console.

In the KDE control center, I've set the fonts to iso-8859-15 and also in
the applications I need Euro support in (ie. Konsole (KDE term), Kword,
Konqueror).  However, when I press AltGr+e in KDE apps, I only get a ?
(question mark).

xev tells me when pressing AltGr+e:

KeyPress event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x2200001,
root 0x2c, subw 0x0, time 58237516, (6,5), root:(10,608),
state 0x2010, keycode 26 (keysym 0x20ac, EuroSign), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: "" 

Pasting a ¤ character most of the time works.  This means (?) that my
fonts have the ¤ character - I'd also want to say this, because Gnome
is able to generate it, and also StarOffice 5.2 works fine.

[root@teich root]# locale
LANG=de
LC_CTYPE=de_DE.ISO-8859-15
LC_NUMERIC=de_DE.ISO-8859-15
LC_TIME=de_DE.ISO-8859-15
LC_COLLATE=de_DE.ISO-8859-15
LC_MONETARY=de_DE.ISO-8859-15
LC_MESSAGES=de_DE.ISO-8859-15
LC_PAPER="de"
LC_NAME="de"
LC_ADDRESS="de"
LC_TELEPHONE="de"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de"
LC_ALL=

When I set the locale to de_DE@euro, KDE still isn't able to generate
the ¤ character.

I'm using libqt2-2.3.1-18mdk and kdebase-2.2.2-13mdk.

What do I have to do to get the Euro character also in KDE applications?
