I have not yet tried to recompile xterm. I played around with my .xsession file. I found out that if I do not run scim -d , I will be able to type Norwegian accents on xterm. The settings of XMODIFIERS, GTK_IM_MODULE, or QT_IM_MODULE did not impact this. This means that the culprit is **scim**. Could other **scim** users of OpenBSD share your experiences? Could you use **scim** without a problem? Yours sincerely, Xianwen
