YES!

I tried
  export LC_CTYPE="da_DK.ISO8859"
as well as
  export LC_CTYPE="da_DK.UTF-8"
before I started X, and then OO and Xterm had the same alphabet
and keyboard.  I can also use all my keyboard.  inclusive ~ and
Western European letters with diacritics.

Whether I should use one or the other.  I have not decided.

My problem is now:  It is nice to have the same alphabet in wscons
(da_DK.ISO8859) as well as X.  But it is also nice to have office programs
Firefox-mailer, et cetera comparable with "the rest of the world (da_DK.UTF-8)

ok!  That's my problem!

Have a nice week-end!
