Hey, I think I have found a solution... it may seem really simple but it
now works for me... When you are running the virtual machine if you
press the right Ctrl key the accents start working. So I went to
File->Preferences (in the main virtualbox window) then selected "entry"
and checked out the box saying Auto-Capture Keyboard. Restarted the
virtual machine.

After that it always works fine until you press the right Ctrl key...
But if you press it again it will work fine again...

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 with a portuguese keyboard and virtualbox 1.6.2
