This is already in gnumeric 0.4 and gnumeric 0.5

Feel free to report bugs about this.

This will have to wait until the Baboon model is finished (right now
its development is paused as we are working hard on the GNOME 1.0
release).

This is strange.  I will try to find a solution for this.

Could you try this for me: if you press "F2" and you type in text, do
you get the deadkeys working?

My main probnlem is that I do not know how to activate the dead-keys
support in my X server, so it is difficult for me to debug.
