Okay, I get what you mean by accent keys now - so trying to produce a
normal single quote for example in RPCEmu and having to hold down Alt-Gr?
But it works fine outside of the emulator? That's strange.
I had a look at RPCEmu's keyboard handling code a bit. It uses
scancodes/keycodes and its own translation tables (explains why setting US
layout in Windows didn't make any difference). The codes on Linux (X11)
aren't raw scancodes apparantly as they can be altered by the host to take
account of different keyboard layouts, but if this is sometimes a problem
on Windows as well, then that's probably not relevant. I don't know why,
say, a single quote would be treated as such in the host but as a dead key
by RPCEmu but it could be a Qt bug. Input-handling doesn't seem to be one
of its strong-points. Did you have the same problem in 0.8.15?

Regards,
James
