Subject: accented letters

Hi, all.

I'm developing an application using FXRuby and need to enter text that
has accented letters in it (portuguese texts).

But the controls doesn't show the accented letters as I type them - just
the corresponding letter without the accent.

I've captured SEL_KEYPRESS for a FXText control and I can see that it
"sees" as I type in the key with the accent, and then the key for the
letter I want to have accented.

Here's an excerpt of the output of the captured event (the relevant
statement here is puts data.text << " (" << data.code.to_s << ")"):

 (65505)
< (60)
p (112)
 (65505)
> (62)
 (65505)
I (73)
s (115)
t (116)
o (111)
  (32)
 (65105)
e (101)
  (32)
c (99)
e (101)
r (114)
t (116)
o (111)
 (65505)
< (60)
/ (47)
p (112)
 (65505)
> (62)

-------------------

I know that (65105) is the code for the left shift. (65105) would be the
code for the acute accent, which followed by the letter e (101) should
give me an "e acute" (é), but the control shows just the simple "e".

Does anybody have a hint on this?

TIA,
